It seems that Edward Snowden doesn't want to stay in Mother Russia and is trying to come back to the U.S. Wonder what he thinks about the mysterious recent death of Boris Nmetsov, Putin's greatest critic in Russia? If you buck the government there, you either end up with Polonium poisoning or you're shot to death just blocks from the Kremlln. U.S. soil and court system is looking pretty good to Eddie these days.

Yup....

I'd never want that traitor back here unless it was to be put on trial.

As the old saying goes, he made his bed, let him lie in it.

It's difficult to muster up any sympathy for him.

I say to let him back to face any charges filed against him by our government. If he ain't willing? His choice.

I think he's willing to face charges and a trial. It would be a good thing for this country to have what he did discussed in open court.

I remember when Valerie Plame's status was released for political reasons and some thought that was acceptable. It wasn't, she organized international spies for America, and by disclosing who she was and what she did, their lives and the lives of their families were put in danger.

Snowden had no idea what the ramifications of his info release could mean.

You got that right.

Revealing state secrets have turned into Oscar acclaim for the makers of the Edward Snowden documentary "Citizenfour."

I was rather surprised that it won and even more to hear Laura Poitra refer to him merely as a whistle blower.

I'm sure there is a huge swath of people across the country (including some members of Congress) that see him as a hero. I'd like to hear what they have to say.
