Is Edward Snowden a Patriot for exposing abuses by the federal government or is he a traitor working to undermine American Security?

 

I'll be curious as to where everyone falls on this one. I'll admit it wasn't clear and dry for even me, yes I had real problems with the stuff he exposed and I'm glad it came to light, I do wonder if there was a better way to do it. I also find curious his running off to Russia while crying about civil liberty abuses of the United States. 

 

I have BIG problems with the wide net approach by the NSA and Homeland Security since 9/11, it's been talked about on "conspiracy sites" about the phone taps and megadata being stored on pretty much everyone but Snowden pretty much blew it out of the water with his exposing documents. Supposedly there's more and I'll admit I want it to come to light, I want to know what's going on and why.
