C'mon Mr. Graham, please don't tell me that you're too old to forget what you just said about your favorite person these past few weeks?

He is on a private jet to Iceland.

There was no intention of him ever getting on a plane to Cuba.

He could indeed pull another Jason Bourne on the ObamaCheney regime.

Kind of embarrassing for an ivy league graduate to be outwit by someone with a GED.

Why can't they catch him? Last I knew Espionage was a BIG DEAL and deserves a life sentence. What is wrong with him?? Why would he turn like this on his country?

You can't because you have to obey the laws of the land in other countries, and that is no extradition for countries you do not have an agreement with. You also cannot just shoot down a plane in mid-flight flying in international waters or drone him in the middle of a non-friendly country.

Too bad.

However, my reason is due to the fact the guy committed a crime against the US, Lindsey nut's reason would be to pander to his SC RWNJs. All moot right now, as Snowden didn't get on the plane in Moscow. .... "as the worm turns"...

Lindsey Graham, will not be re-elected as a Republican in the next run for him.
McCain looks like he may croak any day now.(I cannot believe AZ, legitimately put him back in office)

Thank you for showing your true colors when it comes to constitutional principles and the rule of law. The idea that we should kill someone because it is convenient to get rid of 'state enemies' is repugnant to what we are supposed to stand for.

Here are some noteworthy quotes:

“They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety.”
--Benjamin Franklin

“It would indeed be ironic if, in the name of national defense, we would sanction the subversion of one of those liberties…which makes the defense of the nation worthwhile.”-- Chief Justice Earl Warren

“It is not the function of the government to keep the citizens from falling into error; it is the function of the citizen to keep the government from falling into error.” -– U.S. Supreme Court Justice Robert Parker

“The notion that a radical is one who hates his country is naive and usually idiotic. He is, more likely, one who likes his country more than the rest of us, and is thus more disturbed than the rest of us when he sees it debauched. He is not a bad citizen turning to crime; he is a good citizen driven to despair.” -- H.L. Mencken

“When they took the 4th Amendment, I was quiet because I didn’t deal drugs.
When they took the 6th Amendment, I was quiet because I am innocent.
When they took the 2nd Amendment, I was quiet because I don’t own a gun.
Now they have taken the 1st Amendment, and I can only be quiet.”
-- Lyle Myhr

“Fear of serious injury alone cannot justify oppression of free speech and assembly. Men feared witches and burnt women. It is the function of speech to free men from the bondage of irrational fears.” -- Justice Louis D. Brandeis

“All censorships exist to prevent anyone from challenging current conceptions and institutions. All progress is initiated by challenging conceptions and executed by supplanting existing institutions. Consequently the first condition of progress is the removal of censorships. There is the whole case against censorship in a nutshell.”
-- George Bernard Shaw

“The only thing necessary for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing.” -- Edmund Burke

"We have won, not because we bent and diluted our principles, but because we stood fast to the ideals which represent the most noble and generous portion of the American spirit." --Robert F. Kennedy

Just so you know, your ObamaCheney loving friend florida.bob agrees with him.

People have a right to disagree. That's how horse racing works.

Funny you equate this as a BO plunder, yet fail to see all the countries that are giving the US the finger.

Typical to blame, atypical to correctly analize. This guy couldn't make one move without massive help.

You think Romney would have a different outcome? Of course you don't.
