Amnesty supports Snowden

Well you know, about time. He has done what he thinks is ethical. He has hurt nobody. As far as I understand he has betrayed no national secrets other than the fact that US security and others are hoovering up data without legal mandate to do so.

I fear for the life of anybody who crosses the USA security services.

Sorry, don't know what happened there. I'll ask GNHQ to delete.

A clear, straightforward and concise statement of support. Cuts right through all the brouhaha. Good for Amnesty.

It's a relief to see this, although Amnesty does often get ignored. As an organisation that's had more than its fair share of being spied on, I would have expected them to offer support from the start.
