Poll: Snowden, (Hero) or (Traitor)

Lurker66 · Jan 10, 2014

Is a police informant a good citizen or criminal?

Judas was fulfilling prophesy, not exactly a heroic figure.

How bout the kid that released the helicopter vids?

If I was snowden, I would lay low, stay gone and let history decide. Wouldnt risk my neck any further.

I'm not sure where he lands on the Hero-Traitor scale, but we're going to need a lot more like him over the next decade.

Do we really have all the information to make that assessment?
:hellno:

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.

Agreed. Right idea, totally wrong way of doing it.

You know china and Russia have copies of anything he had.

I don't think we know that. And I was unaware he was "offering his services" to the Russian government?

He should have to live with Jane Fonda.

He offered his services to Brazil...and do you really think Putin is giving him a free ride/welcoming him with open arms just for the publicity angle? I have no doubt that he was thoroughly debriefed by the Russian security services prior to being allowed to reside there. They are still Russians and we are still Americans....

I would've had much more respect for Snowden if, after deciding to release his information, he stayed here and faced the music after the fact.

I'm not happy he went to China and Russia, but going public without warning was the only way to get the wrongdoings of our government out in the open. When the executive branch stooges are willing to openly lie before Congress, we're pretty far down the rabbit hole. Without Snowden's leaks, we'd be in the dark on just how corrupt the system has become. We might think it's bad, but we wouldn't KNOW.

I'm not sure how many of you would be willing to ever release the information in the first place, much less stay CONUS and willingly go into the "black bag", never to be heard from again.

He's neither hero nor traitor. He's a man who did something that needed done. He subsequently felt he needed to flee for his life.

We may never know what if any damage to the U.S. his unpublished releases (if any) may cause. As for the damage done to the credibility of the U.S. government, he didn't cause that. The people who crapped on the Constitution and committed these foul acts did. Focus on the message, not the messenger.
