#3It has already been covered over with tarp and the letting removed[1].
It's a wonderful piece of work with excellent sentiment behind it. Unfortunately it doesn't suit the government and mainstream media narrative, so I'm sure the act of its erection will be decried as liberal terrorism and vandalism, the piece taken down and Snowden-related news once again brushed over.

#4This is disgusting. Snowden lost any legitimacy he may have had as a whistle-blower when he started exposing the unquestionably legitimate foreign intelligence activities and capabilities of the United States. You have to be naive to think the Russians are harboring him without something in exchange: even more information about our foreign intelligence activities. This traitor's bust does not belong among the remains of fallen heroes.

#5Let's put this in some historical light. The British government abolished the slave trade in 1833 - 1838 and this was a big step (even if other schemes were in effect slavery). Only one monument was erected to commemorate this. Protagonists, e.g. William Wilberforce have statues however the event itself - abolition - only has this one memorial. It was built by a wealthy Quaker and served as the entrance arch for his mansion.
Step forward 150 years and this might be the one and only memorial 'made at the time' to the work of our hero.

Sir. Edward does not expose anything. It's the journalists that choose the material. He made it very explicit from the start.

Can you please provide a source?
The quality of this comment is something I'd expect from a 50 cent army.

You have no clue what you are talking about.
a.) It's not him releasing the info anymore.
b.) You are just speculating that he's giving any info to Russia.
