a mean bastard that caused no end of trouble because he thought it was his right to kill someone for not being like him. But i've seen Snowden vilified heavily too. I don't really consider him a hero. He seems kind of a twit, but he may have done us a sevice, although i distrust his motives (to make a democratic admin look bad) But by continuing and expanding the spying on all of us, they made it easy for him.
