[QUOTE="Glocktogo, post: 2381230, member: 1132"] I'm not happy he went to China and Russia, but going public without warning was the only way to get the wrongdoings of our government out in the open. When the executive branch stooges are willing to openly lie before Congress, we're pretty far down the rabbit hole. Without Snowden's leaks, we'd be in the dark on just how corrupt the system has become. We might think it's bad, but we wouldn't KNOW. I'm not sure how many of you would be willing to ever release the information in the first place, much less stay CONUS and willingly go into the "black bag", never to be heard from again. He's neither hero nor traitor. He's a man who did something that needed done. He subsequently felt he needed to flee for his life. We may never know what if any damage to the U.S. his unpublished releases (if any) may cause. As for the damage done to the credibility of the U.S. government, he didn't cause that. The people who crapped on the Constitution and committed these foul acts did. Focus on the message, not the messenger. :( [/QUOTE]
