Venezuela offers asylum to Snowden
I'm a little shocked that even here on Hacker News, most of the top-level comments fell for the headline, rather than focusing the attention back where it belongs: <i>the reason why Snowden needs asylum in the first place</i>.<p>Enough of this drama. Snowden has served his purpose in revealing the extend of the NSA shenanigans, but we really shouldn't have to read about his every move.<p>This Reuters news release does not even mention the nature of the leaks that put Mr. Snowden in this situation. It's truly a sad state of reporting and public discourse.<p>Edit: taking a bit of my own advice:<p>We need to stop the NSA snooping all of our communications and restore due process for searches and seizures!
