re: Snowden and Putin really throwing it down on us now.

I understand but, IMHO, our government needs to be embarrassed and ridiculed for spying on its own people. I don't feel an ounce of resentment towards Snowden for ridiculing our government or our leaders who sanction this kind of intrusion into our lives.

The best analogy I can think of for this would be that I can make fun of my brother but if you make fun of him we are going to fight. I don't believe it is OK to embarrass the United States with one of our enemies. This serves no purpose other thn to further Russian policy and undermine the position of the United States on the world stage. I realize this one event will not accomplish any such thing but it does aid that cause. Snowden has already let us know of the wrongs the NSA has done so what is the point of helping Russia rub it in? Does his action help or hurt the United States?
