Interesting. Snowden committed a crime b/c he leaked NSA documents, but they showed the government was involved in illegal surveillance of citizens. Does the ends justify the means? How much of our civil liberty do we give up to feel safe (Greenwald says that not one major terrorist attack has been thwarted b/c of this surveillance). Slippery slope theory applies here. If we give the government a pass on this constitutional right, how long b/4 others follow? How long b/4 the government uses the information they gather to squash dissenters? What responsibility does the average citizen have here?
