It's funny that you mention Snowden, a person who exposed a whole lot of anti-democratic stuff going on in his own country and became a widely celebrated patriotic hero for his courageous work. I guess the people guilty of anti-democratic behavior went to justice, while Snowden himself was offered protection and a well-deserved respectable position to continue his fight for human rights. Just like other notorious human-rights activists like Manning, Swartz or Assange.

Online polls seemed to show a 2:1 split, favoring support. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Commentary_on_Edward_Snowden%27s_disclosure https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Commentary_on_Edward_Snowden%2...
