I don’t view Snowden as a hero. He did defect to MOSCOW after all.

One interpretation is that Snowden is a traitor who defected to Moscow. Another interpretation is that he is a concerned but naive whistleblower who had to flee to the safety of Moscow.

I'm guessing that the second interpretation is more likely.

I am wondering if the whole wiki-leaks debacle had gone differently if Snowden would have felt safer staying the USA......

There was a lot of questionable crap around Julian Assange, while he is no saint, there were al lot of low shots aimed at him...

Also look at Michael Hastings.... Funny how the people who made his car haven;t issued a recall for the car he was driving being how it seems they seeming explode blowing out the engine for no reason whatsoever....

Have you been following the Brittany Murphy case? She was an actress who died of pnuemonia, supposedly. She was really tight with one of the government whistleblowers, and one morning she is found dead. The same coroner did her was Breitbart’s as well. Now her dad is saying he had an independent test done and it appears she and her deceased husband were poisoned. Dad says the coroner was sent this evidence and ignored it. Coroner is dead of cyanide poisoning and can’t corraborrate anything. I’m thinking Snowden just didn’t want to die.

He’s hardly a naive whistleblower. A whistleblower encounters something inappropriate in the context of doing his job. Snowden sought the employment specifically to snoop.

He positioned himself as “watcher of the watchmen”. Who’s watching him?

Agree. Snowmen applied to several other countries for asylum. Russia was the only nation who would accept him. Those saying otherwise are either misinformed or outright lying. God bless Snowden. We all knew that the government was spying on us but we had no idea of the scale. I thank him for exposing this.
