Edward Snowden's ready to go to prison, waiting on answer from U.S.

Edward Snowden is a position that no one wants to be in. He is being charged with three felony accounts, including violating the U.S. Espionage Act. The U.S. Espionage Act is that you cannot disclosed any information to the public no matter if it is right or wrong. Edward Snowden is not denying he did this. What he wants is to be able to come to prison in America as part of exile from Russia. He is currently being held in Moscow. He was not really detailed enough for me in the document, because he did not say how long he is willing to stay in prison. If you want to make a deal with someone, you must give them all the details. I think Snowden is trying to position himself in the eyes of the public as being the victim. I think what he did is wrong, and needs to be punished for it. I agree with the White House decision to deny a petition for president Obama to pardon Snowden. I would leave him in Russia if I was the United States. He leaked documents about top secret mass surveillance programs. You cannot do this under any circumstance. He stated that the Espionage act does not look at motives, well he should know that. The law does not look at why you do something, but rather if you did it or not. He needs to come up with a better argument if he wants to get a deal with the American government. I'm glad they are keeping him over there, because he is a traitor. He cannot be trusted and should serve as a deterrent for others. Sometimes you have to make an example out of people.
