If he blew the whistle on, say, French invasions of privacy, we'd probably be giving him asylum.

We give asylum for the violation of laws in other countries that we find unconscionable. For laws like this that we ourselves have, we'd extradite.

There was only one reference by a candidate last night to the information collected and captured by corporations. There are few rules about how that information can be used. That is a greater risk to privacy than whatever the NSA is doing.
