[I]t’s Snowden’s fate that concerns me. His act exposed something that should never exist, whether in a democracy or an autocracy: a system of secret, hard to challenge laws and massive intrusions on the privacy of innocents. In a pre-Snowden world, we’d have celebrated such an act were it undertaken by a resident of any other country, and most Americans wouldn’t have thought their country capable of such injustice. Learning otherwise is the real reason Russia’s temporary grant of asylum stings so much.
