What Have We Come To
July 27, 2013 at 11:01 am
when we have to promise Russia not to kill someone?

http://www.nytimes.com/2013/07/27/world/...=5043&_r=0


Quote: Attorney General Eric H. Holder Jr. said in a letter sent to the Russian minister of justice this week that the United States would not seek the death penalty against Edward J. Snowden, and would issue him a passport immediately so he could travel back to the United States.


Of course this part of the letter:

Quote:The letter also offered reassurances that the United States would not torture Mr. Snowden,

is total bullshit. Just ask Bradley Manning.

Oh, the letter offered "reassurances?" I'm sure that makes Snowden feel so much better.

I'm actually starting to seriously fear the totalitarian direction this country is headed.

I still wouldn't trust them, even with their worthless "reassurances".

Oh yeah, the US isn't going to do anything sketchy - the government just wants to talk with him.

Seems legit.

Oh I can see why Putin and the Russian government would be so concerned. I mean after all, Russia has such a long history of advocating for human rights issues.

I don't recall any public knowledge of executions for treason since 1953.
But if we walk in the light, as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, His Son, purifies us from all sin.
