Ron Paul: Fear Snowden Could Be Target of Drone Assassination

Former GOP presidential hopeful Ron Paul insisted on Tuesday that NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden is not a traitor, but he fears the U.S. government may send drones or a cruise missile to kill the 29-year-old, who has fled the United States.

“I don’t think for a minute that he’s a traitor,” Paul told Fox Business’ Melissa Francis.


“Everybody’s worried about him and what they’re going to do, and how they’re going to convict him of treason, and how they’re going to kill him, but what about the people who destroy our Constitution?” the former Texas Republican congressman asserted. “What kind of penalty for those individuals who just take the Fourth Amendment and destroy it? What do we think about people who assassinate American citizens without trials and assume that that’s the law of the land? That’s where our problem is.”

Paul said that “our problem isn’t with people who are trying to tell us the truth about what’s happening” as in the case of Snowden, and he fears that the U.S. government may try to kill the former contractor.

“I’m worried about somebody in our government might kill him with a Cruise missile or a drone missile,” Paul said. “I mean we live in a bad time where American citizens don’t even have rights and that they can be killed, but the gentleman is trying to tell the truth about what’s going on.”

Paul added that there are no signs Snowden is trying to sell U.S. government secrets to Russia or another foreign government, otherwise he wouldn’t have made himself so vulnerable.

“He’s not defecting, there are no signs of that happening,” Paul said. “It’s a shame that we are in an age where people who tell the truth about what the government is doing get into trouble.”

He pointed to the case of a CIA agent who was imprisoned for acknowledging that torture takes place at Guantanamo.

“This is not good that the American people are spied on and the secrets are kept in government,” he said. “That’s not the way it’s supposed to be. It’s supposed to be the other way around.”

Boner called him a traitor and Russia wants to grant him asylum why not drone him before he gets away.

Jimmy Hoffa candidate

POOF !
Pathetic and sad. The Libertarian hero.....
If they do, I hope the NSA films it so we can see this little shit go up in smoke as his 15 minutes ends.
I read that he is going to resist extradition. So, he's a fucking coward in addition to being a traitor.

Meanwhile, General Keith Alexander, who heads up the NSA, testifies that the surveillance has stopped dozens of terrorist plots.

Snowden did the right thing; until someone can prove how the Snowden information jeopardizes Americans, I say he is a Patriot !

There is nothing in that article that proves Snowden jeopardized Americans.

You have a very low bar for what constitutes proof !
What is astounding is that some loons think Snowden revealed secrets............

He confirmed what almost all persons I know suspected - that our government (and google, Microsoft, etal) is collecting massive amounts of private data about us.

It is amazing some of you nuts didn't know this. Did you actually think there is such a thing as "privacy" in the on line world ?

And if you were one of those fucking idiots, aren't you now glad that it has been confirmed - THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS PRIVACY ON LINE ?

Thank you Mr. Snowden !
And it is very likely that we will find out that the NSA data sweeps were illegal and not permitted under Federal Law.

But Obama's NSA went ahead and did it anyway................
One of the authors of the Patriot Act - Sen. Sensenbrenner says the NSA data mining is illegal . So does the ACLU.

Thank you Mr. Snowden.

if data mining was illegal Bush and his cartel should have been stopped long ago
Exactly the NSA data mining wasn't authorized to be used the way we now know it has been under Obama !

Bush acted within the constraints of the PA; but Obama superseded the limits by conducting wide-spread domestic spying.
