Snowden did not betray the American people

Snowden Asks U.S. to Stop Treating Him Like a Traitor - NYTimes.com

I still like what Mr. Snowden's father said.

The elder Snowden said

"If folks want to classify him as a traitor, in fact, he has betrayed his government. 
"But I don't believe that he's betrayed the people of the United States."

And I think that's exactly right. When the government systematically breaks the law, whistle-blowers are not betraying the people.
