Edward Snowden is a Traitor...?

This week Edward Snowden's father traveled to Moscow to visit his fugitive son. My question is... why did we allow this? Even I, the biggest liberal out there, consider what Edward Snowden did a criminal act. There are those who applaud him, saying "damn the man!". They call him a modern folk hero. They couldn't be more incorrect. Some times ignorance is truly bliss.  Snowden committed treason and in doing so put people at risk. Now, I am all for keeping big brother off of my back but if a random computer screen or phone tap continues to let me sleep through the night, sign me up. I have nothing to hide, all you'd find is some boring porn and classic cars. You can fly drones over my house and scan all my gadgets, if it stops a bunch of losers from blowing up another marathon... I am all for it. Now, before you all get your undies in a bunch I am not calling for a police state.
Let's be honest, our government has done a lot worse stuff than spying on its own people. You're talking about a country that set up a false government in French-Indo China just to overtake it, had Jim Crowe laws and allows the Kardashians roughly thirty hours of television time a week. Some covert spying is really the least of our problems, what is scary is what else this young man might be leaking out.
What else did this man know? And something that has been really overlooked... How the hell did this guy ever even obtain this position? He had little to no education, no formal training and somehow was privy to information that only a handful of individuals in the country had. To me, that should be the biggest fear. Who the f**k is Edward Snowden and how did he fall through the cracks?
The other question can be, was he put there on purpose? Supposedly we found and killed some dirty Taliban freak hiding out in a bunker eating Ramen noodles. We know where this guy is and if we truly wanted him, he'd be dead. Treason is punishable by death and this man committed treason yet we're after him almost as much as O.J Simpson is searching for his wife's murderer. So why the charades?
This story stinks. We haven't even scratched the surface of the truth and I doubt we ever will. But some people are okay with that. Then again, some people accept the Lee Harvey Oswald single shooter theory too...
Is it hot in here or am I Crazy?
