Whistleblower or Double-Agent?

Snowden's decision to go public has mystified many. Why come out?

People across the globe are talking about Snowden.  Who is the
government listening to as they talk on their cell phones?  Will this
knowledge make us finally end our gadget obsession in the U.S.?

The US government had forced the telecoms giant Verizon to hand over the phone records of millions of Americans who were not suspected of a thing.  

Here's an interesting article in "The Guardian" that questions whether it is the person who leaked the information or the information itself that should be our concern.  The article includes a link to Snowden's whistle-blower interview, "I don't want to live in a society like that."
