You worry about some unspecified damage. Might be worse in the future, you say.
Then again, there might be no damage. I don't see what they were doing as having any real downside to the vast majority of us, now or in the future.
I do know that his leaks have made it harder for the US to keep track of what the terrorists are thinking. In turn, since we share information with the rest of the civilized world, the security of those nations is now less than it was. Ask yourself if the terrorists have had any success since Snowden did his thing... Would you be in favor of helping them out even more? Tilting the playing field more in their favor? After all, they play by the rules, don't they? They're a fair bunch, those radical *******s. Anyway, what are a few deaths in France, or England, or some other faraway place going to matter to you?
The second amendment argument, or abortion rights, or any of the other, usual constitutional fights have nothing to do with this.
In nothing else, shoot the little bastard for his theft of classified military documents. That's treasonous, something that goes way back to the dawn of the constitution. I'm sure Putin had no interest in any of those documents, so I suppose we should thank him for keeping them safe from prying eyes for the last couple of years.
