#2We'll know the American government has truly gone sour if an earnest attempt on his life is traced to the "Intelligence Community". Until then, he is our beloved revolutionary sweetheart telepresent in our thoughts.

#3"ISIS was one of the terrorist groups that learned from Snowden, and it is clear his actions played a role in the rise of ISIS"
Despite how seriously misleading this statement is I can't help but laugh. Been rolfmao way too much since the Snowden leaks. From the .gov puppets desperate to find a angle on the debate, to the FBI desperate to counter the tides of technological evolution.... im laughing. Will probably continue laughing even after their baton's hit my back because some citizens actually took these absurd statements from the CIA/NSA/FBI/WhiteHouse as something other than a joke.

Jesus, I promised myself I would stop upvoting any NYT or BBC (usually propaganda) stories, but that's just ridiculous.

#6I sometimes think that HN is pro-Snowden. Are there folks here who see him as less a hero more a villain?

That is classic Michael J. Morell. I can't take anything he says seriously. Listening to Mr. Morell is like listening to some of the right wing republicans describe the administration as socialist. US public debate should be above this, nobody benefits from this nonsense.

It's the usual "put everything on terrorists" argument, Snowden is now responsible of the rise of ISIS ! (and also of the world hunger ?) The last decade of war in the middle-east is just a coincidence apparently.

I can't say I see him as a villain, but definitely not a hero. I hold back my judgement, because we are just too far away to know what's going on.
He did expose some pretty bad practices to the general public, but asylum in Russia afterwards? Are you kidding me? That just looks super fishy to anyone with at least an ounce of critical thought in his brain. Especially in the context of the Crimea debacle.

What should he have done instead?
