Washington, January 22 (RHC)-- As several lawmakers on Capitol Hill have called Edward Snowden a traitor and even go so far as to say he is a Russian spy, other officials are opening calling for his assassination.

The website Buzzfeed has published an article featuring anonymous intelligence officials called "America’s Spies Want Edward Snowden Dead." It quotes one Pentagon official saying: "I would love to put a bullet in his head... he is single-handedly the greatest traitor in American history."

An NSA analyst also tells Buzzfeed: "In a world where I would not be restricted from killing an American, I personally would go and kill him myself. A lot of people share this sentiment."

    These stories demonstrate a serious mental illness problem within the US intelligence community and US political leadership. I know of no US citizen who considers Snowden a traitor. In fact, just the opposite. He is considered a courageous hero by most Americans. Therefore, the US intelligence and political leadership holds dangerous opinions that are in complete opposite to those held by US citizens. In such a situation, it would seem that the US intelligence and political leadership, not Snowden, should start looking over their shoulders because they may become the targets.
