    Why is this guy being treated like a spy or traitor? He's a whistle-blower . There's a difference.
  • @zeitesixx
    This guy has the balls that thousand of millions don´t.

    Take notes Americans... this is what true patriotism is about!
  • @Dinobot_Sigma
    This man is a hero. History will remember him as such.
  • @Plague_Doc22
    I find it extremely impressive of his character to be willing to sacrifice basicly his life and freedom (he's only in his 30's btw) for informing the public of the US whats going on. Best of luck Edward, I may not be an american but I appreciate heroism when I see it.
  • @Karikulito
    He is as rare as it gets, very intelligent and conscious young man speaking from his true heart.
  • @Teabone3
    His greatest fear is our safety and privacy.. rather than his own. True hero.

    For all of those who say, "one person can't make a difference" or "what do you want me to do about it", here's your answer.  One person CAN make a difference, and you just have to have courage of conviction to stand up and say, "No.  This is wrong."  We have too many cowards in our country who just bend over and take it.  We need more who are brave, put their comfort aside, and stand up for what is right.

    It fucked me up when Snowden said that "the world is much more unpredictable and dangerous" than the world in Orwell's 1984. When he first laughed at the comparison I expected him to say something about 1984 being too extreme, paranoid, or something like that. The fact that he laughed at such a prospect as reality trumping 1984 is very, very dark humor indeed.

    Really hope he lives a long and happy life, far away from any jail or biast court.

    I feel like a worried parent at times during the viewing of this video..just want to give Edward a big hug and tell him that it's all going to be okay, even though I know it's not. Maybe it will be someday, but that's up to the rest of us. Much love to you Edward! Thank You for everything. I hope we (humanity) can make it right.

    If Edward Snowden is considered guilty than Hillary Clinton definitely is. So glad Edward Snowden awoke the American people about what's going on with our most private information.
  • @tianlinz908
    He is the most intelligent american I have ever seen
