I'm wondering what everyones opinion is on what has been going on the past two weeks with this Snowden debacle. At first I was on the fence about him, but the more this guy talks the bigger of a creep he appears to be.
Had he just leaked the info of the NSA collecting phone and internet data of U.S. citizens I would most likely see him as a whistleblower of sorts, but his actions since going to Hong Kong are more in lines of a traitor than a whistleblower. I can only assume the reason China and Russia are being so accommodating to Snowden is because he is giving them unfettered access to all of the info he stole from the NSA.
Then I read this little gem today..
Quote:
A Hong Kong paper, the South China Morning Post, reported Tuesday that Snowden took the job at Booz Allen early this year to "collect proof" about the programs before disclosing them to reporters. Snowden told the paper that he intends to release more of the documents he took from the firm.

So he took the job as a contractor with the NSA just so he could steal secrets and take them to China and Russia and maybe even now Cuba.. That is the same thing Bradley Manning did

IMHO he's a straight up traitor.
