It is sometimes important to take a step back from the relentless news cycle spin and ask a few important, bigger picture, questions.
The characters:
Bush - lied into a war that killed many many thousands, sanctioned torture - not charged with anything, living free in Texas (though he may not want to travel too far overseas).
Edward Snowden - disclosed evidence of a massive government spying operation that may or may not be illegal/unconstitutional (we can't really tell because it is secret) - charged with crimes including espionage, on the run.
Nelson Mandela - freedom fighter (branded a terrorist by the government of the time) - charged with treason (though acquitted) - spent many years in prison, many in solitary confinement. Now widely respected.
