  But when it comes to doing the right thing for your 
  country, as Snowden has stated was his reason for leaking 
  the NSA documents, Colbert said that you must face the 
  consequences of the law.

Saddam Hussein faced the consequences of law too, but we all knew the outcome before the trial even started.

If I was Snowden I wouldn't be in a hurry to return to the United States and spend twenty years in prison.

Ironically, none of the officials that caused the last Iraq war have even been charged or investigated despite failing to produce any evidence of WMDs or massive support for Al-Qaeda.

> Saddam Hussein faced the consequences of law too

Rather - Saddam Hussein faced the consequences of trying to sell his country's oil in something else than the dollar [1]. As did Gaddafi [2].
