Snowden revealed NSA'a 4th Amendment domestic spying — good on him — I agree with that and commend him for it.

Unfortunately he also revealed details of the working of his own country's international info gathering operations — some called that sedition and/or treason — not good on him.

Most Snowdenistas don't acknowledge the second part of the dichotomy of what Snowden did.

He when too far. He should have stopped at the domestic revelations and been hailed as a legitimate whistleblower instead of the — and I have to say it because it's reality — a defector living in Russia.
