No opinion of guilt or innocence implied but...this raises a question not yet discussed here. What if he's NOT found guilty?
The preponderance of criteria from the "shoot-now, ask questions later" crowd are based on assumptions of illegal activity. Not many get the chair (these days) because they're "assumed" guilty. Do you think he wants to come home with an expectation of the death penalty or life in prison? Armies of lawyers around the globe are lined up to take the case. Could there be a reason for that?
So, Snowden returns, get's his day in court and is found not guilty of anything significant and walks free. What then?
Oh, and let's not forget that whole "uphold-the-constitution" thing.
