> it is important he stand trial for breaking the law
What law[s] do you believe he broke? Do you believe he is a US citizen/resident, committed crimes while in a US territory, or otherwise was under US jurisdiction? Please be specific in your legal references. Thank you very much in advance for your detailed legal citations in response.
You sound like you're confusing Snowden with Assange. Snowden was a US citizen with a security clearance who released classified information that he had improperly gotten access to. Assange is an Australian citizen who set up a website and whom Chelsea manning sent classified information which he then published.
There's no question that Snowden committed a crime under US law, and is absolutely subject to US jurisdiction, the question is whether it was justified. With Assange, however, you'd be right: he's never even set foot in the US to my knowledge, and was given the classified information by someone else (who was tried, convicted, and served time for it).
