We watched Edward Snowden's interview from Russia the other day. He was sincere and convincing.
Still we have to judge him as misguided and sadly despite his intentions a traitor to his country. His duty to follow a certain code of nondisclosure and silence was high because of his position and he violated it.
Let the Historians who write the annals of our Countries official record be kind to the reputation of Mr. Snowden but let us who are citizens understand the gravity of what he has done.
We may criticize our Government's and the Military industrial complex' Orwellian efforts in writing and we may disagree with ex President Bush's " we are at war with terrorism " mantra but we shall not betray our country.
Invisible armies who march in the night are plotting the demise to our way of life it seems.
Here's what I wrote about Mr. Snowden,
PS let's be understanding and merciful to the young man should he return Home.

NSA "leaker" Edward Snowden, Spy or patriot
NSA "leaker" Edward Snowden, Spy or patriot
fiction
edward w pritchard
In our tree:
Before there were the great States of Russia, China and the United States the great clans of early times lived airborne in gigantic trees. In small groups, related by various affinities each clan fought fiercely to protect their space and protect it's members large or small, young or old.
It was a precarious life clinging to a branch 100 feet above ground and organization and communication were necessary to maintain internal security while performing the ordinary activities of survival.
Posturing was preferred to all out war but sometimes heavy objects such as dead branches or large stones would be dropped on an enemy or raiding party.
Worse than a traitor to the clan was a spy, someone who co-operated with foreign interests. Still spying was often preferable to outright warfare.
