And for those interested in the views of a die-hard capitalist with no regard for human dignity whatsoever, check the dissenting view of Bill Gates saying that Snowden is not a hero in this interview from Rolling Stone magazine:
"The U.S. government in general is one of the better governments in the world. It's the best in many, many respects. Lack of corruption, for instance, and a reasonable justice system." - Bill Gates. After Senator Feinstein's CIA investigation. After Aaron Swartz. And a couple getting arrested in Oklahoma for charges of "terrorism hoax" after some glitter fell off the banner they used in a protest. After the guy getting interrogated by Homeland Security for hours because he entered a cinema with Google Glass on. I lol'ed.
I have heard about these things and I don't even live in America!
