Asked if Snowden is a traitor or a patriot, Rand Paul responds: "History will determine that, and history will probably compare and contrast the national intelligence director who lied to Congress and Mr. Snowden, who actually told the truth about the program. So there is some question.
"It won't be good for Mr. Snowden if he cozies up to countries that at least on the surface are not our friends or don't appear to be. So it depends on how this all plays out, but history will make that judgment." - NEWSMAX

Then I guess Snowden was right to separate himself from the US Government and better not work with them in any way, because today's US Government is definitely NOT our friend! I'll put this as a vote for Snowden as a Patriot by Rand Paul on my tally list.
