In reply to the discussion: Snowden Video Interview Part 2 Released: Edward Snowden: 'The US will say I aided our enemy [View all]liberal N proud
(60,334 posts)1. Well, telling them things about our security system is aiding the enemy
Regardless of how you feel about the NSA and the data collection, Snowden did share information with other governments. That cannot be debated!

Sorry, he is no hero here!
