They wouldn't kill him, that would be an amateurish mistake, you would have a martyr. Destroying his reputation, pressure friends and family...

If the US didn’t freak out when they found out the 4th amendment was simply smoke and mirrors, they wouldn’t freak out if the CIA assassinated one of their own. They’re not freaking out while the CIA slowly tortures a journalist (Assange) to death in prison, in full view of the press and international media.

I think most Americans don’t know or care who Ed Snowden is. The Last Week Tonight segment with him was rather instructive.
