If you're still anti-Snowden and/or pro-NSA after all the stuff that has come out then ... you believe deep down that foreign terrorists are plentiful and out to destroy USA.
I was taking issue with that bit. There are good reasons to think what Snowden did was wrong that don't involve paranoia about "plentiful" terrorists. You could, for example, draw a distinction between responsible whistleblowing and irresponsibly fleeing to a foreign country with literally thousands of classified documents.

- nishonia 12y agoYou know that "responsible whistleblowing" has failed multiple times in the past right? Anybody who is upset with Snowden for not repeating the same pattern that failed to change anything, except the destruction of the whistleblower's life, is either unfamiliar with history or just completely illogical.
