I don’t have enough detail to call this guy a hero or traitor but I just can’t get worked up against someone who’s main accusation seems to be that he alerted the American people that their government is spying on them 24/7. I still can’t find the logic in the governments assertion that this is old news, everyone already knew about it but we need to put the guy who disclosed it to the public in jail for treason.

Did Snowden really tell us anything we didn’t already know?

That line is like catching an employee stealing from petty cash and he says, “It’s old news. I’ve been doing it for years and you never complained before.”

I agree that we can’t say for sure if he’s a hero, but my scale is tipping in his direction as every day goes by. I can imagine seeing the info and practices that he witnessed, and getting disgusted. It saddens me to see how farthis country has fallen.
