America Goes to War With Itself Over Data Security

A quote right from the Daily Show

"Is Snowden a foreign spy? Did some clever intelligence agent plan this turn of events all along? Does a one-handed alien clapping on Mars make a sound if no one is around to hear it? I don’t know."

It seems impossible for some in the media to believe a) that indiscriminate spying is bad and b) that someone may feel strongly enough about the situation to risk everything and go public.

Is the author of this article a paid shill for the NSA? I don't know.
