Not sure if US citizens are protected by any law for the “right of seeking asylum”, but he did raise a good point: Can citizenship of US be taken away by the government, and if yes what the process should be?

This guy is full of himself. He stole top secret government documents and then gives them to foreign new services and governments. And he was expecting a ticker tape parade from the Obama administration? Just a touch on the arrogant and immature side. Hell Yes they’re trying to isolate you grasshopper. Don’t do the crime if you can’t do the time.

I’ve read the Bill of Rights, can’t recall a right to evade justice. Maybe Eddie needed to know more than just Unix and tcp/ip.

Despite revoking his travel privilege, Snowden’s U.S. citizenship cannot be canceled as he was born in NC unless he obtained it by fraud or deception as the word he used to describe Obama and Biden to exert undue pressure on Correa. Actually it’s a smear campaign to discredit him. He shouldn’t expect Biden’s any sweet talk on phone with Correa over a fugitive American.
