Dennis, you are correct on who is responsible. The NSA is responsible. Heads should roll on this breach.

\Snowden on the other hand understands what was given and sold out his Nation. Hiding in Communist Russia or Marxist Brazil is not acceptable.

He is a traitor first and foremost.

Ed Snowden is a coin with two sides. You have him spilling NSA secrets to China and Russia... The flip side is he revealed NSA domestic spying on a scale no one imagined. If not for Snowden you would not see so many demands for the NSA to cut back on domestic spying AKA meta-data collation and storage. Plus storage of emails, phones calls etc out in Utah. Why do you think the Utah facility is so large? To store a lot more than meta-data.

So what value to place on Snowden revealing the scope of NSA domestic spying?

“Hiding in Communist Russia or Marxist Brazil”

Huh? Russia is far more of a capitalist country than we are now so this statement is just silly.

As far as heads rolling, get serious. Heads never roll for those in charge. Things will continue as before, sure they may come out with some window dressing but that’s about it.

That's what the Despots said about the Founding Fathers...
