(from the article):" Snowden’s treachery is especially grave because he exposed how all the parts fit together—the blueprints
for how America’s most significant intelligence enterprise actually works—which is also the blueprint for how to defeat it,” she said.

So , without Snowden , we the CITIZENS of the United States would not have known the extent of our own government spying on us..
and that is bad ? How ?
Our own government is spying on us .. ? WHY ..?
What the government is upset about is that we now know that our government is spying on us ,
while what they are really uspset at is the fact that we now know, and Snowden has told us , and our international friends now know .
Foreign Intelligence spying has prevented how many bombings ?.. Zero !
Our Foreign Intelligence is reactionary ( after the fact) and has not prevented any act of terrorism before it was to occur .
It was overreach which made our friends not trust us , and our enemies not fear us .
Snowden is neither Saint ,.. nor Sinner ; he is an American who just wanted us to know how much data our own government was collecting on us
without warrant , or even probable cause !
And therefore , .. it is ILLEGAL !!
