It is that we should have a new soul.

Edward Snowden: Pardon?

Let's be clear: federal contractors and employees who work under the privilege and responsibility of maintaining national security secrets despise double standards, whether we are talking about Hillary Clinton's or Edward Snowden's violations of their voluntary commitments to contractual requirements. I have no sympathy for a corrupt government's blatant, unconstitutional, illegal disregard of the Fourth Amendment, the universal spying on citizens without due process, and to the extent Snowden exposed wrongdoing, he should be duly credited. However, I disagree with his tactics and his moral cowardice in evading responsibility for the nature and extent of his breach of contract. The idea of issuing a pardon without a trial and conviction by a jury of his peers would send a mixed message to disgruntled employees who seek to rationalize unconscionable actions.
