I'm not sure exactly how much of it is really accurate but if 25% is true this country is not far from a police state. It comes down just as hard on bho as the intelligence community, esp the part when they replay clapper lying to congress about gathering metadata. Also what a charade the fisa courts really are and how they can be manipulated. Of course it was sympathic to Snowden who I assumed was a criminal but with what's going on today it certainly makes me think twice. It's on Amazon Prime now...

IMO his (Snowden) biggest mistake was going all scorched earth. Had he selectively released the shite that proved we were being spied on by our own Deep State, he would garner more sympathy.

He is a patriot and government need to be knocked down a lot

It’s ridiculously inaccurate, at least anything that covered his time in the States. I can’t speak about what transpired once he left the country.

I agree that his intentions were good but he DID cause a lot of damage.

He is a narcissist and a liar and he had no true understanding of what he released. One day he will enjoy the confines of a cell.

Snowden is a national hero.

Ah yeah how terrible of him to reveal that the NSA had been spying on everyone

If that's all he released then fair point but that's not all he released

Regardless of OS's input, the Snowden affair, and the DOJ's and other intelligence groups being under the control of Obama and his lefties in order to attack a political opponent has diminished the general support of the American public grievously. I can't remember when the center an center-right has been so suspicious of the DOJ, FBI, and CIA in my lifetime. I don't know how it was done, but it surely seems the DOJ has somehow been overwhelmed with Democrats these last two decades. Obama seems to have had a inordinate amount of communication with the FBI, CIA (commie Brennan), and DOJ (Holder). Now, the entire right wing of voters is highly suspect of all of them.

It is an argument of presumed privacy, which is one of countless things he did not understand.
Is it still private if no parties are identified? An argument can be made that privacy is not infringed upon if no actors are identified. If he understood prism, he would recognize that. Since he was nothing more than a sysadmin, he has no true understanding of the project. He would like you to believe he is some super secret squirrel, but in actuality he was the guy who would reset your password. He wasn’t an analyst. He certainly wasn’t an operator. He was a fricking sysadmin.
Let the downvotes rain in support of “super sleuth” Snowden, lulz.
