    Americans must stop ignoring our senses and our memories. If has an ounce of decency, he should pardon Edward , who with a promising career and his whole life ahead of him, put everything on the line to help protect us.

    Having investigated this case in my capacity as the , I am absolutely convinced that, if extradited to the USA, will be exposed to an unfair trial & conditions of detention amounting to or other cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment.

    The government may steal a dollar, but it cannot erase the idea that earned it. I wrote this book, Permanent Record, for you, and I hope the government's ruthless desperation to prevent its publication only inspires you read it—and then gift it to another.

    Edward Snowden was hunted, pushed into exile, all for doing something that authorities and even the people going after him tacitly admitted was a vital public good.
