Sick and tired of the Snowden fanbase

78. It's not an either/or, people.

The man did one thing right: by basically doing a whole drama queen act, and now a disappearing act, he's brought huge publicity to the problem of the NSA and the Patriot Act. That's a very good thing.
The rest of what he did was and continues to be traitorous. Giving the Chinese specific info on hacking, even though I'm sure they knew that stuff already, was certainly criminal. Offering to give specific info on hacking to still more journalists in more countries also was. These are acts against the interests of the United States that have zero to do with the privacy rights issue re the NSA's vacuuming up of phone & Internet data.
All countries spy. No country wants to see specific info about how it spies on others released to the people they're spying on. Guess what people? That includes the US. The rest of the world would be more surprised if we didn't use hacking to spy on them than if we did, more than likely.

So, Snowden did exactly one thing right. For the rest, he needs to pay.
