So many people have accused Ed Snowden of treason, but it seems a lot less likely that this would have happened had he not had the balls to allude to the kinds of spying the federal government has been doing on the world. Thanks Ed, and to all the awesome people at the EFF.

If he was actually a capital-t Traitor, the government would not have to release any relevant documents. This is to say that the government's arguments would persist in their strength towards maintaining secrecy, but the fact that these events are transpiring tells me that there is no actual legal support for a treason charge (pace Dianne Feinstein). Otherwise, the NSA itself would be acting against the interests of the nation by doing this, thus themselves be traitors.
