Actor Matt Damon on Edward Snowden: 'It's a great thing he did'By Marcus Hondro - DigitalJournal

Matt Damon's newest, 'Elysium' is now out in the U.K. and the actor is over there on a press junket. Never one to shy from controversial topics during a talk on a BBC program, Damon commented on his countryman, Edward Snowden.
Favorably.
I think its a great thing he did," Damon told host Husam Sam Asi on the BBC Arabic TV show 'Alternate Cinema'. If we are going to trade our civil liberties for our security, then that should be a decision that we collectively make. It shouldnt be made for us.

DU is a progressive site, or at least it used to be. That's why I came here in 2001.
