CBS' Bob Schieffer on Snowden's junket:

  "For one thing, I don't remember Martin Luther King, Jr., 
  or Rosa Parks running off and hiding in China. The people 
  who ran the civil-rights movement were willing to break
  the law and suffer the consequences."

  "That's a little different than putting the nation's
  security at risk and running away."

  "What I see in Edward Snowden is just a narcissistic young
  man who has decided he is smarter than the rest of us"

   "I don't know what he is beyond that. But he is no hero.
   If he has a point — which I'm not sure he does — he
   would help his cause by voluntarily coming home to face
   the consequences."
