Sorry... what he has accomplished is opening eyes of many who blindly believed in our government.
I just have a tough time taking him seriously, when, as Gary Kasparov said, he’s not also pointing out or investigating what could be wrong in Russia, but rather being selectively outraged at what goes on in just the U.S.. Call me what you will, but there’s plenty that’s going on that is simply not right in Russia, and the fact that Snowden is selectively outraged at the U.S. while turning a blind eye to issues concerning Russians and their own government, I have a hard time taking a biased, one-sided person like that seriously.
