I am also still undecided, but consider this-
Snowden is not being blamed for anyone’s death yet, but our idiot in chief Joe Biden has been blamed by some for causing the deaths of 29 US Navy Seals (of Seal team Six) because of HIS release of classified information. But then again, ol joe probably knows all about the setup involved....

.......you beat me to that point! So far as “we” know, the information Snowden has disseminated has not killed anybody. Moreover, we know the primary information he divulged was “illegal U.S. government activity” regarding the recordation of everyone in America’s phone calls.

We further know that the top man in our government on this point (Clapper) knew what the government was doing and knew it was illegal and then lied about it to the representatives of the American people.

Finally, what he lied about was egregious!! There simply is no justification for recording every cell phone in the United States and that needs to stop. But for Snowden, we would all still be in the dark.

So, for now, based on what information we know “NOW”, Snowden is the good guy and our Marxist government is the bad guy. That could change. We will see.

It's a conundrum this whole Snowden / NSA issue. Because he is a traitor to the cause of us funding our own surveillance program which denies us any freedom of privacy. He is also a hero by pointing out that very same destruction of personal privacy, I.E. we've been, and continue to fund extravagantly a violation of the very constitution that binds us to our government, and is supposed to limit it, and prohibit it from going this far. His personal motives and politics actually don't matter if the truth has been exposed as a result of his actions.

The fact that he's holed up in Russia somewhere should speak volumes to those who think this US government can be trusted by the American people. Our greatest enemy is ourselves.

The question is how do we beat ourselves?

How can this genie ever be put back in the bottle?
