  I don't understand why they want to catch him so badly now.

  
  
  For the same reason traitors in Medieval England got hanged, drawn and quartered.

  That too. They want to make sure no one else will ever stand up to their corrupt policies again.

  I don't view them as corrupt, i view them as created with loopholes or just plain laziness in mind.
  
  I don't view things as some diabolical mastermind out to get you, if i viewed it like that especially with the place i work at, i would be stressed 3/4 of my life.

  Former predisent Jimmy Carter defends Snowden, claims that the US no longer has a functioning democracy. http://www.inquisitr.com/855289/jimmy-carter-defends-edward-snowden-says-america-has-no-functioning-democracy/
  
  
  
  The NSA reveals that they actually spy on a LOT more people than they initially stated. They originally said they only collected information on people up to 2 hops from the terrorist. Now they are claiming 3 hops. That may sound small, but studies have shown that EVERYONE IN THE WORLD is only 4 hops away from any other person. That means they are collecting information on 90% of the population, not JUST the terrorists and suspected terrorists.
  
  (If you don't understand what a hop is, assume everyone in the world has 10 friends. The government thinks you are a terrorist. So they spy on you. They also spy on your 10 friends(that's 1 hop, spying on 11 people). They also spy on each of your 10 friends 10 friends(2 hops, spying on 111 people). They also spy on each of those 100 people's 10 friends. (3 hops). That's a total of 1111 people being spied on just because they think you might be a terrorist. But in reality most people have more than 10 friends. If everyone had 100 friends that's 10000 people in just the 2nd hop. 1,000,000 people in the 3rd hop. So you can see how these numbers get large fast.

  US excuse for trying so hard to capture Snowden falls apart upon reveal that he doesn't even have any more documents to leak. He already gave them all to the media who have been deciding which ones to make public without him.

  Isnt true democracy extremely hard to maintain?
  
  Also, collecting that much information about someone is hilarious, they dont have the man power for that.
  All the government has been about is downsizing.
  I bet they use automatic searches and stuff to query people, so it's not of any importance to me anyway, if they were worried about me, i wouldnt be working where i work.

  Former NSA Chief says Snowden supporters are "twentysomethings who haven’t talked to the opposite sex in five or six years".

  I think it may be a reference to "basement dwellers" instead of homosexuals.
  
  Did you read the article?
