Brother GM...I think your poll is a bit confusing. 1& 5 are about equal. 2,3, &4 are about equal. But, there's no doubt that Edward Snowden is a USA patriot/hero.
ET brethren, ask yourself if the writers of the constitution intended for you to be spied on by your own government. That answers the poll question for you.
============ Traitor, with a lame excuse; could have sued them. ACLJ has sued the IRS[on behalf of 41 Tea party , consrvatives/Pro Israel -501c4 groups]; winning so far. He broke his written contract, also,;cheating traitor
Snowden revealed not so much that the NSA was spying. I knew that, thought it common knowledge in fact. What he revealed was that some clown like him with a high school diploma could access a lot of personal info about anybody they wanted to.
Snowden is a piece of shit traitor who betrayed his country.Russia and China used him to get American secrets then told him to get the fuck out ,Karma is a bitch .
Snowden lied repeatedly to his employers at Booz Allen when he sought out and accepted that job for the express purpose of committing espionage. Clapper told one lie in the pressure of the moment when he was asked, in essence, to reveal classified information on TV. Needless to say, his counterparts with the PLA and FSB never find themselves in such situations.
