I held a secret security clearance for much of my 35 year career working for government military contractors and was appalled at what Snowden did. He should have been put in jail or worse. I remember going into the classified area every day and seeing the wanted posters on the wall for people like Snowden. I agree the NSA does very important work and shouldn't be hindered by the uninformed. They need to gather information to stop the terrorists from harming us and to stop these cyber crimes that put us in jeopardy.
