[QUOTE="brett636, post: 1154911, member: 249"] I'm not sure I would call Snowden an American hero, but his actions have helped to alert the American people to just how much privacy they really have in their day to day life. I also feel there is a distinct difference between Snowden and Bradely Manning. Manning was nothing more than a butt hurt little twit who carelessly and recklessly endangered the lives of countless men and women in uniform. As far as he is concerned I don't want another day in his life to pass that he isn't having to look out past a prison fence or a window with bars enclosing him in. Snowden on the other hand simply confirmed our worst fears and that is we are under constant government surveillance whether we deserved it or not, whether we committed any sort of crime or not we now know that big brother is always listening, and for that I do commend him because now the public backlash is starting. My hope is that this confirmation will cause some real changes in how our government functions and the people we elect to govern. Its also nice to see the Obama administration so roiled up in scandals that it can't get much else done, which is a good thing for this country in the long term. In the end Snowden simply alerted us to what we should have seen coming so for that I wish him the best. [/QUOTE]
