What do you all think about it? Do you think it was treasonous?

His actions were highly illegal, yes, but treason?  I'm leaning towards no... Unlike Bradley Manning, Edward Snowden tried to minimize the amount of classified information he needed to leak in order to whistle blow.  Whereas Bradley Manning showed no such restraint or carefulness, releasing hundreds of thousands of classified documents without reading every single document to consider its impact on our national security and foreign relations.

By some definition, it's treason. I don't think I'm against it morally, though. The people should have more control over what their government has the power to do.

People are all pissy about him being in contact w/China, Russia, Cuba, Ecuador, and other pink commie nations.

Hell---when your country would probably have you killed w.a drone, I'd be off in commie-land, too.
