I haven't heard many criticisms of Snowden that fall outside of: A) He's a Russian plant, HE IS IN RUSSIA!one!11 Which is easily disproven because he could have done a lot more damage from the inside and it's the US that forced him to stay in Russia, Snowden was provably en route to Ecuador when his passport was revoked. "But he doesn't criticise Russia"; well, he can't leave and it's not his fight, his fight was for the soul of the western world (primarily America, though as a Brit I am glad he revealed what he did); Russia is very well known to be corrupt, there's nothing more to be said on that. B) He put lives at risk!!two!2 Also very easily disproven as he only gave uncensored data to two Journalists whom had a track record for ethical disclosure (even to their own detriment).
