Last night I watched news anchor Brian Williams interview Edward Snowden on NBC News. I have mixed feelings about what Snowden did and how he did it - patriot, traitor, or somewhere in-between. By now, you know the issues, or think you do, and have drawn your own conclusions.

One of the greatest faults of our government is keeping secrets from the public - which always ends in chaos and destruction. After weighing the pros and cons of Snowden's actions ... all I can say is ... He was programmed to do it, or it never would have happened. It was time. Coming home and getting clemency by the US government is not an option, for obvious reasons.
