Here at HamiltonFinanceServices.com we hold the following opinion: Edward Snowden was faced with a moral dilemma of historic proportions when he became aware through his employment of classified information about US government spy activities worldwide and within the US, and Mr. Snowden chose to act in accordance with his conscience to violate the laws of the US. That choice has already caused many changes in US and international conduct, and we expect continual changes to unfold for the foreseeable future and beyond. http://www.thenation.com/article/178467/what-snowden-leaked-was-nothing-compared-what-he-didnt
