You will appreciate from your own post, that those in Washington calling Snowden a "Traitor" are simply ignorant of the Constitutional definition, and are just parroting others hurling the same silliness. Snowden was not adhering to the enemies of the American people, he was warning loyal, rooted Americans, that their rights to be secure in their persons & personal affairs are being violated. (Just what does anyone think the Founding Fathers had in mind in the Preamble to the Constitution, about securing the Blessings of Liberty to their posterity. It was not his sort of bull in a china-closet approach to law enforcement.)
It is too bad if some people find the limitations on Government, inconvenient. But that is what America is all about, 'being inconvenient for those who want excessive power over others.').

Snowden was not adhering to the enemies of the American people, he was warning loyal, rooted Americans, that their rights to be secure in their persons & personal affairs are being violated.Those calling Snowden a traitor are being entirely consistent in their application of the charge.
Because it is becoming increasingly clear that the federal government does indeed consider loyal, rooted Americans the enemy.
