On the Right, at least, the battle lines are clearly drawn between those who worship the concept of The State over the natural rights of man, and those believe that the individual has some intrinsic value. The State-worshippers will tell you that Snowden violated secrecy laws, so off with his head! Meanwhile, the other side worries about how all-powerful the State has become.

Ammazing information,Remeber Abel Danger,this info is amazing!
A more important question was why did he have access to this info in the first place?
Seems like another system breakdown, and after Manning too.
