'For years the U.S. government has put itself on a pedestal and acted as if it holds the moral high ground when it comes to the rights of it's citizens'
You understand that your ire is pointed at a rather large, random group of people. You speak as though the government was some bloviating prick in DC that needs to be knocked down a peg. I would also like to add that Snowden is in Russia either because he wants to be there or he completely lacks insight. He could have gone to congress or other resources but when he started leaking information about the US spying of foreign countries (China for instance), he became a traitor.
