2. I'm outraged

At the traitor Snowden. This will damage our national security. We are supposed to be spying on the Chinese. Now they know what we can and can't do. Maybe he's damaging America as a favor to Putin.

I'm glad Snowden revealed how our phone calls are monitored but he has turned traitor since then.

I also question why the New York Times published this. Perhaps because it was already published elsewhere.
