With the westren world coming into Mr Snowden's new home for the Olympics, sorta has me thinking about him.

Poll: Snowden, (Hero) or (Traitor)

If the poll had a 3rd option somewhere in between I think that's how I would have voted, though on the balance what he did needed to be done.

This. He's not a hero or traitor, he's just a guy releasing info that needed to be released.

I know there are other possible options, I wanted a simple poll guilty not guilty....can he come home or not..
The more options I put on, the more I would have left off.

He should get full clemency/pardon/whatever and be brought home to testify to Congress.

He crossed the line from pissed off patriot to traitor when he started offering his services to foreign governments...

Screw him. I don't really care what happens to him either way, hero or patriot.

That's pretty much the way I see it.
You know china and Russia have copies of anything he had.

This is exactly my thoughts.

I'm a little torn, if I were in his shoes I don't know what I would have done. Be martyred here or be a traitor there.

When I look at all the options getting this out in the open there wasn't any other way to go. Sure he could have gone to his reps and been shut up or gone to the news and shut up or his boss and shut up.
