He may have been played by the KGB.... just a pawn?

TPTB (The Powers That Be) would have us believe Snowden is a coward, a liar and a small potato.
They perpetrate this under their own assumption they are telling a (to borrow from Plato) a "Noble Lie" - some truth that only the Elites could possibly fathom, that we farmers would be rendered adrift lest we be exposed to such knowledge.
The state, like any institution, requires external moderation and review (and no, I do not mean Rupert) - Snowden has slapped us in the face with a cold fish, hoping to stir our curiosities further than simply who's doing well in American Idle - it is up to us a society to pay attention and demand further inquiry.
There are many false statements and accusations leveled against Snowden, I encourage you to watch his (fact checked) interview on NBC to hear his side before you repeat what you've been told.
In short, safer place? not yet, smarter place? maybe, just maybe.
Al Gore described the leaking of top secret intelligence documents as "an important service".

Over hyped media story. Nothing I didn't already know. Governments have been spying on people & other governments for a long time, and they will continue to do so.
Only difference is that they might have to cover their tracks a little better now.
I thought Snowden linking US embassy to CIA quite interesting.
See if you guys recognize one or two of them in your own encounter through this video.
