I agree. But whatever the motivations of Snowden are and whether he should be considered a traitor or a spy, what we really need to focus on is the government and these surveillance programs that threaten our liberties in the name of protecting us from terrorism. We need a national dialogue on these heretofore unknown programs that Snowden termed, “turnkey tyranny.” We can kill the messenger, but the issue remains.
For my money I would much rather have Col. Anthony Shaffer running the surveillance dept. than the current regime.
