I’m glad you enjoyed it! I think these men are heroes, seriously. It says a lot about the U.S. government and our society that we consider it bad if the truth is released. The public has every right to know. What gets me is that Trump called Snowden a hero when this happened but now he wants to throw him in prison. The survelliance of us is against our constitution and it’s just downright immoral. For a “free” society, I consider them calling him a traitor curbs freedom of speech & freedom of information. For a “free” society, why are we being so closely watched? If this is for terrorism, why are they watching everyone? It doesn’t add up.
