KIRSTEN POWERS: It’s appalling to hear the Washington bureaucrats and their media allies trash Edward Snowden as a traitor, when it’s our leaders and the NSA who have betrayed us. Strong words from a Democrat.

Plus this: “It says something about the lack of a positive case for keeping the NSA spying programs secret that the main line of defense is to attack Snowden for lacking the proper credentials to speak out against the government.” Well, our credentialed-but-not-educated elites place a lot of importance on credentials. What else have they got?
