The World Socialist Web Site would certainly like to see Edward Snowden return to the United States. This return should be organized as part of a criminal trial—but not his own. Snowden would be a major prosecution witness in a war crimes trial in which top officials in the Bush and Obama administrations would be defendants. And we should add to the list the chiefs of the NSA, CIA, and the various military services. In returning to the United States under these circumstances, Snowden would be provided legal immunity for the crucial information that he would provide. It is not Snowden, but the political representatives of the US financial aristocracy and its military-intelligence apparatus are guilty of violations of the constitution and domestic and international law. In addition to systematic spying on the population without a warrant, they have waged illegal wars either directly or by proxy against the people of Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, Libya, Yemen, Mali and many, many other countries.
