Edward Snowden, Hero or Traitor?

[David]

Simple question. Give your opinion

[Alan]

There's no saying you can't be both. George Washington was an American hero, and a British traitor. Depends who you ask.

But since you are asking me, I say hero. The world needs to know just how evil, twisted, and out of control the US has become. People are now afraid of speaking freely, knowing they are being monitored, and that they could be detained, interrogated, or worse when they enter the US.

See for example:

(it's not just the US to be fair. Britain is almost as bad)
