how is he a traitor? to whom?
anyways, if the guy is for real, he's definitely a "hero"
- traitor to US Gov.. He probably signed a lot of NDA's at a national level which he then ignored.jfletcher
- Disclosing foreign intelligence operations and then running to hide in China/Russia = traitor.mrrgl
- foreign intelligence operations, is that what your'e calling spying on our Facebook?monospaced

mrrgl - There are definitely two sides to this one, but I'm glad it happened. Now it's up to us to apprehend all the bad guys.CyBrainX

Patriot, but also nerd with an ego who had a cushy job and girlfriend and lived in paradise, but gave it all up.

Given how long it's been since anyone saw him, I'd say - dead.

I dont know if hes a traitor...but hws hardly a hero...have we forgotten what that word means... please
- i think to take on the world's largest superpower and do it publicly in this technological age, with what he did, qualifies.colin_s
- The term gets thrown about a lot, but in this case it's certainly justifiedanimatedgif

I think he had good intentions that could be considered very patriotic.

Possible Hegelian Dialectic to trigger more laws, policies.
Create a problem, get reaction from public and create stupid solutions that cause more problems, Rinse and repeat, till the whole country is in scientific tyranny and a technologically driven gulag.

Not sure what he is exactly but he is losing support quickly.
- hotroddy0
he is a pawn. Geo political pawn at the expense of NATO. To Russians and Chinese he is a hero.

He's a hero to me dammit. I don't care if he defects to the communists.

What exactly has he released that wouldn't have already been known?
"Hey, the government is spying on everyone"...
Earth shattering.
- illegal live monitoring of non suspects' communications - hmmm. pretty earth shattering.fadein11
- surely people would have suspected this?BusterBoy
- Agreed. but fact is different than suspicion? maybe. Its not like outside countries benefit from it.sofakingback
