Lately the news has been rife with the scandal that involves the US government (and now other governments) and former CIA guy Edward Snowden. People have branded him in many ways. I would like to know how YOU fel about him. Do you see him as a traitor? Patriot? Coward? Do you think he's a threat to national security? (Assuming he's giving state secreats to foreign governments). Some say he would only be a 'hero' if he came to justice instead of running (from country to country, apparently). Do you agree? Sound off!

And the voting has begun. Let's see how it goes.

I would reveal my thoughts on the matter, but NSA spies could be anywhere.

They probably leaked nano machines in your water supply already. They already know what you're thinking mate. I blame Hideo Kojima and the MGS series.

I applaud him for revealing the info but not that he went to Hong Kong or any other country... It would be really easy foreign goverments capturing him and reveal classified information that could hurt the US.. Don't know if he already did it.. thats a tricky thing.. but this PRISM thing is one scary thing and i'm glad we now know about it

I love what he did. I mean we vote for our governments and so we should know what exactly they are doing with our money. Not just that, but it goes against the US constitution. People over there say about losing their guns but surely their own privacy is far more important as a right.

I see Snowden as a hero because he exposed one of the many things wrong with not just the US government but it's also apparent my own country's government like to spy on it's people too. It's just wrong and yet it's not obvious at all that we are being watched.

But what is so special about Ecuador? These sort of people seem to like to go there.

That's okay. I think two things at once so they're always distracted and the nanomachines are overloaded. They can't beat me!

That's the thing. Revealing internal affairs is one thing. I applaud that. Spying on citizens to the extent the gov took it is not right. However, revealing sensitive state info to other countries is another. Plus, China vehemently denies hacking US government agencies and businesses (for intellectual property) although it is more than likely they were, and yet, Snowden admits to it on the part of the US. Doesn't look good.

Extradition, or the lack of it. He'll be able to seek asylum and be 'safe' there. Ecuador isn't exactly on good terms with the US, so they're likely to not do what the US wants with respect to Snowden.
