I Have Watched Snippets.
I find it interesting how Snowden justified compromising our ways of following the bad guys.
I consider him to be a traitor.

Hmmm. I don't know yet. I need to watch the entire interview again. He is very well spoken for someone with no high school diploma. Could be very convincing. But my "he's a manipulator" alarm was going off. As I said...I'm not up to speed. I'm looking for more info.

Predictably, Brian Williams asked some dumb questions. I was waiting for "If you were a twee, what kind of twee would you be? I think there were some things that Snowdon thought were not understood by the public and wanted to get out there.
One was that sometimes to you have to choose between your govt. and your country.
He complained officially and through channels that the NSA was abusing it's authority and was basicly told to shut up. Did you know the NSA can moniter what your typing on your keyboard as your typing it? He's asking for Congress to investigate this with the NSA. NBC has filed a FOI request for these.
Realizing that the Bush Administration lied through it's teeth to get the Iraq war started. That was a major motivator for his actions. So, in a way I guess you could say it's Bush's fault. :D
I don't think the end is near anymore. :D I think it's HERE! :o

I don't think Bush had anything to do with the current practices of the NSA! But if it makes you sleep better at night, go ahead!!

I was referring to Powell's dog and pony show at the UN. As I recall he worked for Bush. Snowdon still thinks 9/11 was a terrorist attack. :roll:
