What are you talking about Remmy? I think there are too many unpacked assumptions in your comments. Internet Freedom? Citizen Privacy? I do not think that you are right to imply that Mr. Snowden did what he did to gain popularity. I think he did it because he believed what they taught him in school about his rights. Always better to have the educational content consistent with real rather declared values.

As matter of fact, every country keep tabs on it's citizens and keeping that via tapping both officially and unofficially is VIP for security purposes no matter how we view it, eventually we shall all say it's the responsibility of the government to provide security.
I suspect Snowden may have undisclosed agenda yet for his actions presently, because it's creating more fuss than poparlity for him.
Definitely he did not do his homework well before execution of his claims.
