@zaitcev Snowden's actions was out of loyalty to the United States - he simply provided evidence of the criminal activities of enemies internal to the United States - none of which caused anyone to die (you can know this, because the those in the US government haven't been able to come up with a single example of who died).

The thing that really kills people is secrecy in the government.

It's a real shame the NSA is now totally full of traitors, considering that there hasn't been another individual that has followed Snowden's example.

He didn't want to move to Russia either - the Russian government just got him and made him take the citizenship - as it's not like he could go anywhere else.
