Edward Snowden's gift of life

For those who complain about wasted tax dollars, Edward Snowden has provided an opportunity to view how those tax dollars are wasted. Meanwhile, he is vilified for doing that (without drawing from the taxpayer) by the same people who complain. If he is guilty of anything, his sentence is the community service he has already done and, therefore, time served. He has given his life away so that others might see more clearly.
