    Aaron Schwartz (almost typed Brooks) hung himself from trumped up charges that amounted to doing far less than what Snowden did.

    I doubt he'll ever come back to American soil without some public royal decree.

    It appears this prediction was totally off the mark, FWIW.

    True, but I have ten plus felicitous years of posts to base my assessment of Deckard wrt to on these issues.

    Good to see that you feel I am entitled to my opinion, though.

    Looks like Snowden is staying put. Why grant him citizenship now? What are your thoughts on this guy nearly a decade later?

    I'm guessing not granting citizenship was a minor nod to not upsetting the USA.

    I'm guessing the few f**ks they used to give are no longer given. I assume they did it to poke America in the eye.

    This guy was always a spy for Russia, and a traitor. Not sure why some are making him out to be some kind of hero.
