Snowden did nothing whatsoever to "damage" the USA
The facts betray you. No amount of modpoints can change that.
He provided intelligence to known-hostile countries such as Russia and China. In addition, various anti-American groups (such as ISIS and others inspired by them) have adjusted their actions to account for the unauthorized disclosures.
Snowden's proper place is a secure corrections facility in Florence, Colorado - after the evidence is used to convict him in a US court of law. The NSA's proper place is to exist as they are now and adapt to threats - whether they are internal (such as Snowden and his sympathizers) or external (Russia/China/other threats to the US).
If you think Snowden's different:
The NSA's existence survived the 1970's and grew under the Reagan era. It will respond similarly to Snowden - it will survive him and expand under a defense-favored administration. Reality will not be changed simply because you think he's a hero and that he should be lionized.
