Noam Chomsky: Is Edward Snowden a hero?
That's true. Do you think governments should be more transparent with their citizens about their surveillance programs?

However, governments also have a responsibility to protect national security, which can sometimes require secrecy. Striking a balance between these two interests can be challenging.
