The case of Snowden and the NSA

The Edward Snowden affair so soon after the beginning of the Manning trial is an eye opener for us as to the power of the secret service agencies of the major powers.

The Guardian paints a noble picture of 29-year-old Snowden, who believes that democracy is being damaged by the behaviour of the US's National Security Agency.

Snowden is currently living in a hotel room in Hong Kong.

When he released his information to the Guardian he was well aware of the consequences that could and would befall him.
