The article for this thread says 1% has been revealed publicly, so you are wrong about that.
What are you saying Snowden revealed that hasn’t been known for years?
Not a trick question on my part, I would like to hear what you have to say.
“The article for this thread says 1% has been revealed publicly, so you are wrong about that.”
Well, this is the same 1% that you are claiming he “gave” to our enemies. So, what exactly am I wrong about? Or do you have some evidence that he released more to foreign governments than has been released by the Guardian?

How about the PRISM data mining program? Unknown to the public prior to Snowden’s revelations. Ditto for the extent that program was used to spy on all Americans, unlawfully, without warrants.
Having read cryptome for many years, I realize you are correct. Certainly anyone who looked into it even a little bit would know that the we spied on Brit citizens and they spied on our citizens and then they traded data. And that was just for starters.
However I also recognize Snowden as a traitor. No matter how clever or righteous he thinks he is, he violated his agreement and must be punished accordingly. If people want to erect statues of him, that's fine. But nothing can justify what he did.
