I was just with Dan Ellsberg as he learned out about Edward Snowden. He called Snowden a hero, said he's been waiting for him for 40 years.

as for me,

Charles Blow column more or less expresses about where I’m at. I believe the surveillance is both:
1) utterly unsurprising and
2) “one of those rare moments where the left edge and the right one can meet”
(I’d alter that to “should be able to meet”).
It certainly appears to be “government overreach” and “a threat to liberty.”
