Snowden is not an honorable person. He chose to work for US intelligence agencies as a low level unix admin, agreed to keep information private, attesting to that in employment agreements. He obvious is a sniveling liar. He's not a hero He's trash. If his was a case of conscience he would have turned himself in but he didn't. He took refuge in Russia. The guy is scum.

He is the person that showed us how rotten the system is. If you want to live your life in ignorance, go ahead. But let us make our own heroes.

Look at the current state of surveillance. It's sickening.

Piss off. He's a "sniveling liar" for violating BAH's corporate contract?! Are you even serious because you reek of a paid shill troll. When you think breaking a corporate contract is tantamount to high treason while the government and it's surveillance state illegally spying on its own citizens (and worse through the 5/14 eyes agreements) is totally doing the right thing then you need to end yourself please.

Yup I do think he's a sniveling liar and a coward. He fled to a country where person privacy isn't even a right to hide prosecution for all intents and purposes being a spy himself. The guy is slime. His hypocrisy has no bounds. When he turns himself in I'll have respect for him. Only childish 20-something's, liberals, and Russians think he's cool. Actually the Russians just like that he's spying on their behalf. Only children have Hero's.
