In the end, I believe the revelations divulged from this release will prove to Americans that its government is actively against them in a substantive manner.

If Snowden's files were in Russia when he sought sanctuary, wouldn't it be realistic to think that Putin already has ALL the leaks? Probably China, too.

If Russia and China have the information why don't WE, the taxpayers who paid for all of it?

IMO Snowden is a gifted amateur.

If someone like him can glean all this secret data and get away with it then just imagine what trained operatives from China, Russia and the Mossad can get.

Snowden has a target painted on his ass because he had the audacity to let ordinary folks know how they were being abused by the government security agencies.

The NSA is now in a very bad spot... Snowden could fabricate data and there would be absolutely no way the NSA could discredit him.
