was employed by the united states as a spy yet now they are seeking to arrest him for spying it seems complete enough pockets see when the united states is spying on its own citizens. on a massive scale without proper governmental interest oversight that within the united states or other countries around the world laws a leader of the u.k. pirate party believes that the u.s. will try to convince the public that edward snowden is a traitor to deflect attention away from what he revealed. what we can be sure of is that the united states will continue to tar him with the brush of being a traitor whatever his final destination is but we have to remember that fact is a distraction what we need to focus on is actually the core of this story which is his read the revelations about mass surveillance remember this is about whistle blowing it's not espionage it's about actually revealing. a mass surveillance which is potentially illegal and is certainly has been kept putting behind closed doors without proper democratic debate without proper democratic oversight we're told all the time that if we've got nothing to hide we've got nothing to fear but that has now been blown o
