Agreed. But in this case, Snowden is both right and wrong. Revealing the unconscionable abuse of power was right, revealing it to The Guardian & WaPo was wrong.

So what was he supposed to do? Go to his boss?

Snowden is a hero who exposed an illegal and Unconstitutional program which was never intended under the Patriot Act.

I’m curious. I don’t see this guy as a hero; but how was it “wrong” to go to the press?

I agree completely that he could have gone a different channel.
