What damage did he do? Who did he harm?
The way I see it, THE GOVERNMENT WORKS FOR US. Beyond the identities of spies, troop movements, and other very limited circumstances, I see almost no compelling justification for secrecy. A man should never be criminally punished for telling the truth about an issue of public concern.
We have a LIMITED government due to a fundamental distrust of those in power. Our constitution provides the government with its power only because we have chosen to do so. The right of the government to act comes EXCLUSIVELY from the will of the people. It follows that when the government acts US citizens have a fundamental right to know.
If the government is perpetrating a mass subversion of the Constitution by gathering PRIVATE data on very US CITIZEN, we have an absolute right to know about it.
EDWARD SNOWDEN IS A PATRIOT.
What destruction has he done? In what world do you live in where providing truthful information becomes destruction?

He has no relationship with the Russian government whatsoever.
Sounds appropriate when it comes to granting Snowden asylum in Russia.
Data dump.
If we want liberty we need transparency, if we want dictatorship we need Snowden in jail.
Snowden is neither a hero or patriot.
The most important thing that Snowden has done, is brought this to light on an international scale. I think it's key for everyone to consider this as an international issue, not simply an American one.
As Snowden is finding out, governments are eager to offer him very little in return for the great deal of political propaganda potential against the United States. It's sickening to see him as a Russian pawn for the situation in Ukraine, for example. He really doesn't have much of a choice at this point, which is why it is important for people to recognize this issue on an international scale.
The bit I've taken from all of this, is a new found respect of open source software and protocols. At this point, it's the only defense against this type of privacy invasion, and technology corporations are all to willing to play ball for the political agendas of various governments. The most notable being the US, and China.
His analysis of 9/11 is spot on. Politicians like to blame intelligence for what happened, but the truth is that it was failure to act on information that was readily available. Likewise, the potential for the repression of the people is limitless with this type of data acquisition, and we can already see it being put into practice.
Do you understand how the information he gathered has been released? Do you understand what information has been released.
Are you confusing Bradley "Chelsea" Manning with Snowden?
It's becoming apparent that you don't really know what is going on.
Pit Row
This became real the day the public internet was announced, perhaps longer than Snowden has been alive.
He's 30 now, he joined the army at 20.
Open source simply means working towards a sound objective that isn't tainted by a political agenda, as long as the community is able to identify the potential security holes. Of course, with holes like the heartbleed bug it doesn't ensure security, but it does at least offer potential in that respect.
And before any one wants to go ahead and call me "prejudice" you better look up the term! I'll prejudge anyone I want and their isn't a damb thing any libb or any one else is gonna do about it! Oh I may not ever say it out loud but you can damb well bet I'm thinking it!
But yeah, Snowden gets a pass in my book!
Our government lies to us.
See how easy it is to reply to someone without telling them to fuck off?
Not so much.
And it seems like you also denied it, too.
