by Coleen Rowley
on March 24, 2014
If you think about it, it's ironic, to put it lightly, that whistleblower Edward Snowden -- whose message of the need for CHANGE essentially repeats President Obama's own original campaign promise -- is now so threatened and persecuted by that very same "Change" President that he must seek asylum in foreign countries and cannot safely travel outside of Russia (which granted him temporary asylum).
