Snowden ends up in more repressive country: #tellusatoday

We asked our followers on Twitter what they thought of NSA leaker Edward Snowden being granted asylum in Russia. Comments from Twitter are edited for clarity and grammar:

I think Edward Snowden is an idiot for picking Russia, as if the country is any better than the USA that he ran from like a coward. It's worse!

— @Otaku2012

He showed the American people that our Fourth Amendment right is being violated. God bless him and his family.

— @BrianOlson89

Snowden's asylum in Russia could stall that diplomatic "reset."

— @Murrdog_

He should be in jail; he is a traitor to our country. Russia is wrong for granting him asylum.

— @XanderHiepVo

I just want this situation with Snowden to be over. I'm tired of hearing about him. Come home and face the music, Edward.

— @PresidentHRC

Snowden absolutely made the right move. Our government is showing that it is just as corrupt as the governments we were taught to hate.

— @mason_selby

Another setback (battle lost) for the U.S. in the new Cold War.
