Dude, I'm lot listening to any congressmen at all. I'm going with my gut on this one.
I've got some pretty well-known friends who have written volumes about the NSA. They are happy to see these disclosures. I'm happy to see our discussion finally informed with some actual examples of over-reach.
That said, I'm not going to crown Snowden a hero. I don't believe he's innocent by a mile. His intentions were far from honorable and more akin to self-aggrandizement than honest debate about the role of government in our communications privacy.

Watch this interview and you might reevaluate your statement on whether or not his intentions were honorable: http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=f93_1390833151
