Snowden in Hiding
Tom Morello's so pissed about the worldwide search for Edward Snowden that he's willing to foot the bill to help the man behind the NSA leaks escape the U.S. government.

We brought up the Snowden scandal to Rage Against the Machine's guitarist last night ... and he absolutely unloaded on the Obama administration, and recommended Snowden -- who's been charged with espionage and theft of government property -- never return to the U.S.

Morello explained, "I think he should live a happy life in Ecuador. That's what I think. I think he's a hero."

He added, "He exposed the crimes of the government. That we're all being spied on. all the time by the Obama administration? If anybody deserves to be in jail ... it's not Snowden."

Tom goes on to say he'll personally pay for Snowden's flight to South America -- and you've gotta hear his choice words for President Obama and his emails soliciting money.

Agree or disagree with him -- the guy is passionate. Get TMZ Breaking News alerts to your inbox

Edward Furlong
Back Behind Bars

It's a pity the L.A. County Jail system doesn't have a rewards program ... because "Terminator 2" star Edward Furlong has just checked in for the billionth time.

You'll recall, Furlong was arrested last month for allegedly violating a restraining order obtained by his ex-GF, whom he allegedly roughed up on multiple occasions. Furlong was subsequently released on $50,000 bail.

But yesterday -- when Furlong was back in court -- the judge decided his previous bail amount wasn't enough ... and raised it to $100,000 ... at which point Furlong was taken back into custody.

So far, Furlong hasn't bailed out. His next hearing is scheduled for later this month.
