#1 Come back, Snowy! All is forgiven. No, really!

#2 Do they really think he would turn over everything he took? Really?

They should be as 'honorable' with any commitments made to him as he was to his employment commitments.

Some comments feel he should be given the Presidential Metal of Freedom...

#3 It doesn't matter about him anymore. Since the NSA was so incompetent as to not be able to know what is loose, they, and we, need to make him a deal he can't refuse to get access to whatever he has. Only then can we do the programmatic triage to clean up the mess.

It is virtually certain that in some number of months or possibly years, everything in his "doomsday cache" will be decrypted by a foreign power. The sooner we can start fixing the problems that will cause the better for the U.S.

Besides, once we bring him back to America, vindicated in his eyes, he will quickly be consumed by popularity and his personal entertainment needs. He will become the spectacle that he wants to be.

#4 #3 He will become the spectacle that he wants to be.

Yes! May I suggest one condition (besides full cooperation)?

Meet Eddie, who's lived most everywhere,
Geneva, Hawaii, Hong Kong, Red Square,
But Georgie's only seen the sights
A watchman sees on rainy nights --
What a crazy pair!

But stuff happens,
Hermetical cousins in disarray.
One pair of rolling cannons,
Different as night and day.

Where Eddie adores a pole artiste,
And seeing big secrets get released,
Our Georgie loves to rock and roll
And shot a thug out for a stroll --
They're free for now, at least!

They're like cousins,
Long-lost lonely cousins, much maligned:
They think alike, they drink alike,
They both could use a shrink alike --

You'll wish you were blind,
Watching cousins, sharing secrets, confined!
