Actually, the way they treated Snowden guarantees more Snowdens. Snowden et. al. want the abuse of privacy stopped and the outlaw US Government is doing everything it can to let them know it wont stop. Thus, we need dozens more Snowdens. Normally I do not like to let the statist know they are failing, but now the statist are just plain acting criminally.
I wish//hope that’s true. But they now see that no one has their back and they will basically become informational suicide bombers.
