I liked the fact that the interviewer never interrupted his guest which is much appreciated.

[TheJamiedickie]

Honestly im not sure I've seen a smarter, more eloquent, thoughtful and conscientious person on the news ever.

[bicobielich]

this is a genius wasted by a country deep in corruption.

"What is legal is not always the same as what is moral."

[liviofazi]

This guy is a hero....knowing his story should be taught in school....especially law on the US

[ashbash]

One man stood up imagine what we could do if we unite

[lizzieliu]

This is my first time hearing Edward Snowden speak and I am blown away by his candor, wisdom, and eloquence.

[RaeannPeck]

Watching yet again. I wish we could have him back here and officially call him a hero. I wish he could run for President of the U.S. It's been a while since we had anyone with this kind of honesty and integrity.

[henryfication]

We need intelligent people and talent like him to be back home in the US and work for us to use his skills to defeat enemies.

[socman]

I’m impressed on how intelligent and articulate this guy is! This guy answers the question with such integrity. This guy should not be prosecuted

[joshn]

America did a massive disservice by labeling this man as a threat. He was looking out for all of us, risked his life and his family's life for our freedom and we've all let him down.

He deserves to be labeled a hero, that's the only word I can think of, maybe one of the greatest patriots of our time.

[MissUSANIAN]

Edward is an enlightened and extremely brilliant being, well above average and his answers are most judicious

[embervine]

Snowden is a true patriot and servant of the American people.

[objectivityworldview]

Best quote from Snowden: “What is legal is not always the same as what is moral”.

[auntymammalia]

Truth is always better, even when you don't want to hear it.

[yionnecantu]

Snowden is intelligent AF!!
A true Patriot. I could listen to him for hours, truly a fascinating guy. I hope he makes it back home someday

[TheeDizzler]

In my opinion, this is the kind of guy that deserves a pardon
