Just as some people never got what MLK was trying to accomplish, or Ghandi, or any of the others who offered up their own lives for a greater good.
The surveillance state(s) is/are the enemy of the people. Snowden has achieved his goal. He began the conversation, believing that people have a right to know what is done in their name.
It's really that simple. No matter what happens, he already has won. The bell has been rung, and can never be un-rung.
Nothing any of us says will ever detract from that. Nothing anyone can do to him will ever detract from that.
No amount of ridicule, libel, slander will ever detract from that. No physical attack on him will ever detract from that. No imprisonment, abandonment, torture will ever detract from that.
The bell was rung. Done.
