Character assassination has begun.

Our nation is dirty and too full of bad secrets. This guy exposed the rot. They will say bad things about him, but I ain't buying their lies.

Yes...there will probably be a witch hunt on Snowden before we know all the facts

However...once again...Communist China rears its head again. Not sure if Snowden is the treasonous one...or the folks who still support Free Trade with Communist China.

He might be a dirt ball for all I know. I don't know enough to make valid judgment.
But, as you said, he exposed the rot. Don't have to like him to appreciate that. I am tired of being treated like the enemy.

Me, neither!

Part of this problem lies in the fact we don’t have *in house* techs to do this work and the outside vendors don’t, like Booz Allen Hamilton, don’t have the security to hold this data...excluding the huge civil rights issues in play.

One easy way to tell that everything Edward Snowden says is true: the entire surveillance apparatus and propaganda machine of the UNited States government has now turned its guns on him.

By the time they’re done with this guy he’ll be painted as a gay pedophile neo-Nazi Morman anarcho-communist secret Muslim Constitutional-originalist radical.

They have one singular goal now: to make everyone hate him. Awful lot of effort on the Government’s part to take down a fraud.

From this point forward, any leaks about Snowden should be dismissed outright or at the very least filtered heavily in our minds through a prism of misinformation intended undermine his credibility.
