Edward Snowden, Hero or Traitor?

USA... Spying...?

Who would have guessed... Just joking of course, who wouldn't have?

Seriously, every damn nation have spies. It's been publicly known since at least the last millennium that USA have spies and use them...

That USA actively spies on the EU and its own citizens isn't a shock either, that was first publicly discovered in 2001, and popular knowledge dates back from when the internet got popular (remember "Echelon"?)

So basically, this new report says things that has been publicly known for some 20 years or so?

I am not the biggest USA fan boy, but if you want to flame USA, at least do it for the actual MAJOR issues that dictate the current problems of the world.

Spying wasn't considered as a U.S. thing for a long time simply because the U.S. was rarely associated with it on the media. And the U.S. never got caught at that time. The British 007 and the Cold War era depiction on the Russians dominated the scene......
