May 2014

Snowden's motives have become personal and this "leak a little, watch the press shit itself with glee" thing he's got going shows he cares way more about the attention than he does about exposing the truth. He's letting the Russian government use him, and quite frankly the US is a paradise of transparency compared to the police state that is Russia right now.

That being said, what the NSA is doing scares the bejesus out of me, and someone needed to speak up.
