But to be clear, I only care about this to the extent that greater and more positive exposure for Snowden will mean more exposure for NSA overreach. That is the issue here, not Snowden himself.

Better to be free in Russia than rot in some American prison kHz1000 - 09/12/2013 09:10:20 PM 951 Views

Perhaps more in the eyes of the Americans? kHz1000 - 09/12/2013 11:10:10 PM 989 Views
In this context American opinion is the important one, since it is US policy under discussion Isaac - 09/12/2013 11:41:07 PM 978 Views
