Probably US agents were trying to get access to some of Snowden's archive. I'm not sure harassment was intended either. I'm keen to say thought, that Snowden is winning this as the time goes by and NSA is loosing ground time and again. I just don't know how this whole surveillance thing, will work out on the next elections. You have the Obama administration clearly embarrassed but ultimately unwilling making any substantial change in the patriot act or it's powers. On the other hand, Republicans are the ones usually advocating greater surveillance, more police state, etc. It's a full-frontal battle of central authority (Congress vs Population) vs democracy. Accepting the fact that NSA is wrong would be admitting that Snowden's ultimate sacrifice[1] was justified and welcomed, and that's even more expensive than putting an end on NSA's surveillance for a political team, government or party. [1] IMHO The guy did a huge sacrifice. I understand the controversy by some overzealous patriots to treat him as a traitor, but in my view he screwed his life over something he believed.
