Should NSA Whistle Blower Edward Snowden Be Pardoned?

Sign the White House petition. 

I'm still trying to sort things out on this but at this point I smell a rat.

1. We have the CIA, the FBI, Interpol, the Department of Homeland Security, the Secret Service and others so why do we need the NSA spying on every single American?

2.  If the NSA program is actually effective in preventing terrorism how did two suspected terrorists pull off the Boston marathon bombing?

3. It has been known and widely reported since 2005 that the NSA has been recording every phone call any Internet activity of every American. Certainly the Muslim terrorist groups were aware of this. This being the case, this spying program has been compromised for the past eight years so what's the point of continuing it?

4. How is this not a blatant violation of the fourth amendment?

The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.

In America they snarl and say, "I need to see some ID!" Before they beat you.
