Yes

 @99CWX2XIndependent  from Missouri disagreed…6mos6MO

Edward Snowden understood his Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) when he accepted his position. The proper way to combat an issue similar to his would be to use the appropriate chain of command. If this solution does not work, bring the situation to the attention of the properly aligned authorities.

 @ISIDEWITHDiscuss this answer...10yrs10Y

Yes, investigate the CIA and NSA directors instead

 @9FMYG6X from Colorado disagreed…6mos6MO

That he is the one who did it and both should be invested to make sure there was no forcing that it was of his own accord.

  @JonBSimConstitutionfrom Kentucky agreed…2yrs2Y

Yes, investigate the CIA and NSA directors instead

If your boss is doing illegal activity, the boss should be held liable.

 @ISIDEWITHDiscuss this answer...10yrs10Y

Yes, he should be protected under the Whistleblower Protection Act

 @ISIDEWITHDiscuss this answer...10yrs10Y

No, he should be returned to the U.S. to stand trial and face the consequences of his actions

 @9FQBQ78Libertarian  from Texas disagreed…6mos6MO

Edward Snowden did the country a favor by letting us everyday citizens know we can, and are being spied on by our government. He deserves to be under the Whistleblower Protection Program.

 @9FQH53G from Idaho agreed…6mos6MO

Agreed. Edward Snowden is a hero for exposing this tyranny and deserves freedom for his brave actions.

 @9JZJN5QLibertarian from California disagreed…1mo1MO

Snowden was looking out for the people. Government is supposed to help the people not hide things from them. "Consent of the governed" means the people get final say not government. Snowden should not be facing consequences but should be celebrated.

 @9GS29V8 from North Carolina disagreed…5mos5MO

He was exposing the NSA for their shady behavior, So I believe he is an American hero and should not be facing trial as he was using his first amendment rights.

 @9GFLVFD from Iowa disagreed…5mos5MO

The CIA and NSA were breaking the 4th amendment rights of civilians. They should be on trial and not him.

 @ISIDEWITHDiscuss this answer...10yrs10Y

No, but investigate the CIA and NSA directors as well

 @595JX2Pfrom Arizona answered…3yrs3Y

Edward Snowden is an american hero for exposing all the corruption in our government. He should be granted immunity and protected

 @4YBKK3Vfrom Florida answered…3yrs3Y

 @8NK6PJ6Unity from Kansas answered…3yrs3Y

Yes, as long as he is still granted asylum status elsewhere. He can never reliably expect to escape retaliation in the United States.

 @5DY9RNCfrom Maryland answered…3yrs3Y

Yes, he should be protected under the Whistleblower Protection Act, and the directors of the CIA and NSA should be investigated.

 @594K78Cfrom Michigan answered…3yrs3Y

 @4YBTSWZfrom Kansas answered…3yrs3Y

No, he should be tried, but should he be convicted, he should be granted a pardon. We have a duty to uphold the law, and see justice prevail, but also a duty to see heroes are rewarded. This solution would address both issues at the same time.

 @93968PJIndependent from New York answered…2yrs2Y

Yes along with Julian Assange and Chelsea Manning

 @9FB7RJR from Wisconsin commented…6mos6MO

Yes, investigate the CIA and NSA directors instead

Please run for office. They need more of you.

 @8YRCSQD from Tennessee answered…2yrs2Y

Yes, calling out your government on its wrongdoings should never be a crime.

 @8ZPVJGWRepublican from West Virginia answered…2yrs2Y

 @8TM9HMQ from Virginia answered…3yrs3Y

 @8H4JYWYIndependent from New York answered…3yrs3Y

Yes, he should be protected under the Whistleblower Protection act and there should an investigation into the CIA and NSA.

 @8H7L4SGfrom Guam answered…3yrs3Y

No, but he should return to stand a fair trial, with the aim of the trial being to clarify the boundaries between whistleblowing and espionage, which would include investigation of the US government, CIA, and NSA.

 @8VZF7BXSocialist from Arizona answered…3yrs3Y

Yes; and the whistleblower act should be extended to cover all disclosed information that does not immediately and knowingly endanger active intelligence, military, or police personnel regardless of internal avenues to address concerns.

 @8ZTDNC8 from Michigan answered…2yrs2Y

Depends. Why should I trust the govt/MSM gave me the true set of facts to begin with...?

He did expose government secrets on the one hand on the other hand those government secrets were tyrannical and Corrupt

 @8WZSWJL from Colorado answered…2yrs2Y

Yes, he is protected by the Whistleblower Protection Act and the CIA and NSA directors instead. The constitution puts the people as sovereign (We the people) and when a citizen brings large accusations and evidence against the government accusing them of actions against the people or in secret held private from the people they should be investigated.
