“It’s still a capital crime, and I would give him the death sentence, and I would prefer to see him hanged by the neck until he’s dead, rather than merely electrocuted,” James Woolsey told CNN’s Brooke Baldwin on Thursday.

Current CIA Director John Brennan has recently echoed his predecessor’s sentiments, arguing that Snowden's disclosures make it harder for intelligence officials to track terror plots.

Some sick bunch of psychopaths working there. Why not hang some FBI officials for failing to stop the attack? Oh yes, because Snowden leaked some information; what a convenient excuse. It's totally unimaginable that terrorists aren't smart enough to find ways of communication without being told what is safe and what is not. Intelligence just messed up big time here. Let's not forget, even before Snowden, the FBI did not stop 9/11. If you want to argue that this happened because nobody imagined it would, let's move on to the Boston marathon bombings then which happened in April 2013, while Snowden started to leak information a month later. Things constantly change on the Internet; otherwise we all would still be using Geocities and MySpace.
