Snowden's "reward" is to be banished in Russia without a snowball's chance in hell of a fair trial if he returns to America. But as he courageously declared, "I would rather be without a state than without a voice." He explained why he leaked classified information: "I can't in good conscience allow the U.S. government to destroy privacy, internet freedom and basic liberties for people around the world with this massive surveillance machine they're secretly building."
