"believes in America, he should trust the American system of justice".

OK. :) How about we start by impeaching the people who started, drove and covered up the gross violations of the Constitution that Snowden provided proof for then. George Bush, Dick Cheney, Barack Obama, most likely John Kerry as well, along with a well considered selection of other high officials from the Bush and Obama administrations. (Don't forget the bigwigs from the police state estate, Michael Hayden, Keith Alexander, James Clapper, and so on ) The outcome of that ought to give some indication of whether "the American system of justice" still punishes wrongdoing regardless of how powerful the wrongdoer.

As for the flip side, punishing proportionately and acquitting the innocent.. Well, to pick one salient example, in the words of Bill Binney: http://youtu.be/qBp-1Br_OEs?t=2h1m18s

But even if you could, hypothetically, expect a fair trial, apparently the new way is to wait for it would be a couple of years lying naked and restricted in solitary confinement, interpunctuated by the occasional professional visit from a bunch of CIA torturers.

I'm not surprised at all a piece of slime like John Kerry is sent to the front to make taunts like that on Obama's account, but it pisses me off that there is still a sizeable share of people in the US that will believe him.

You want trials, John? Start with the real criminals. Then we can do the whistleblowers.
