I just thought it was funny to see the two comments so close together. 
I believe the problem with the NSA situation is that many want a monster to hate who doesn't actually exist. Snowden, Obama, Greenwald, Manning and so many others are human beings with their own motivations and beliefs. None of them is a hero and none is a villain, yet too many here want to dehumanize them with insults and smears as a way of attacking those who support some of their actions/beliefs.
Personally, I think if we could get personalities taken out of the equation we'd see much more agreement on this issue.
