Edward Snowden by letter of the law is a traitor and has helped our enemies. Paul Revere, George Washington, John Hancock and all the others that signed the Declaration of Independence were citizens and subject to the Crown. They were British Citizens. When they signed the Declaration of Independence they by letter of law were traitors, criminals and subject to the law of The Crown. Some lost their liberty, some lost their fortune and some lost their lives for signing that grand document. Edward Snowden has exposed an enemy of freedom that is within our nation and not an enemy of abroad. The enemy within is far more dangerous than any foreign threat. If freedom prevails in our nation, Edward Snowden's name will be listed along side of those that signed the Declaration of Independence. If freedom does not prevail those that write the history of our nation will cast him as a nuevo Benedict Arnold.
Below is a quote from Cicero some 2000 plus years ago. He did understand power, corruption and betrayal:
A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear.
