Go ahead and create another petition that asks for Edward Snowden not to be pardoned and to be prosecuted to the full extent of the law and I bet that it hardly gets any signatures.

Edit: This is a response to several of the replies. I'm assuming of course that nobody within the government would game the petition system. If we've gotten to the point were they would impersonate people in a petition to the white house then I guess we are pretty much doomed.

The NSA, CIA and FBI would game that petition. I think the phrase is "Manufactured Consent."

And people who've already written their own narrative wouldn't care if it was real.

That doesn't need a petition though, it's already the default position of the government.

Well what if... obama's signature counts as 100,000 signatures? :P

the government might use their database skills to fix that...
