It all depends on whose side you are on. George Washington, Patrick Henry, and John Hancock were traitors to the English and patriots to the USA. Benedict Arnold is still called a patriot to the English.
As I said earlier, though, Snowden is more properly called a criminal. He has broken laws.
Also, he has not endangered lives like Manning did.
Remember, also, this practice of collecting electronic data has been going on since at least 2001. Your individual calls are not being monitored by the government.
