I wasn't too sure about Snowden in the beginning and I'm still not sure. The way Snowden suddenly appeared on every mainstream media outlet seeemingly over night just didn't seem credible since so many other whistleblowers had barely a mention for their efforts over the years. What was so special about Snowden and his leaks?
I imagined he might of been part of the NSA's psychological toe dipping into the populace to gauge the result of mass awareness regarding their surveillance program. And for sure, we haven't dredged the bottom of their toxic barrel yet for just how far the technology goes (MAIN CORE, HAARP etc.).
However, I'm open to the idea that Snowden is sincere and that, at the very least, he has made a vast section of the global population aware of what has been going on for decades and what was pooed-pooed - yet again - as a mere "conspiracy theory."

Remember, high-level NSA employees Russell Tice, William Binney, Thomas Drake, Kirk Wiebe blew the whistle on unconstitutional mass surveillance by the government over the course of many years.
Snowden has said that he was inspired by their courage. (He also learned that you can’t correct unconstitutional behavior in government by going through internal channels.)
