When Snowden first appeared in the news I regarded him as a traitor for exposing national secrets.
Five years later after seeing the extent of the Deep State and their nefarious actions, I now see him as a patriot trying to warn US.
Good for you changing your view on Snowden. While I still wonder what his underlying motivations were behind his actions I’ve long supported the man because he revealed hideous crimes against our Constitution taking place protected by a wall of secrecy.
And while I am sure that most people at the NSA are good and loyal Americans there can be no question that the NSA was and is weaponized and politicized to go after people for purely political reasons.
The agency needs to be severely curtailed and forced to submit to strict oversight and not just by a rubber stamp FISA court.
