How is he a traitor?
Who did he betray? He released information to the American people about how their own government was spying on everyone.
He is a whistle-blower who should get A MEDAL for this
You’re right. We should give him a medal, then shoot him after he’s pinned it on.
He’s a traitor. He’s playing the ‘American People Should Know’ card, but this is the same one they played with the Pentagon Papers thing.
If you use a big enough gun, you can just stack Bergdahl and Snowden up and save some money.
“How is he a traitor?”
Upstanding US citizens who work for NSA or any other Gov Org on finding wrong doing become whistle-blowers through channels and testify before Congress;
they do not take hard copies of stolen data to China and Russia;
they do not go to work for a foreign intelligence service (FSA);
they do not steal US Intel Methods and Means (of collection) to simply reveal to the public something which has been in the public for decades (bulk US domestic data collection).
Collecting phone records is what the phone companies do; NSA fault was that such a program was not actually authorized by Congress, but rather a mistaken extension of other collections.
The only metal Eddy deserves has a brass jacket.
