Honor & Edward Snowden

When Al Goldtein, the porn publisher, died last month, my son made an astute observation.
  He noted that Goldstein and fellow porn publisher Larry Flynt were praised by the American media as fighters for free speech while Edward Snowden is described as a traitor and one who has damaged 'National Security."  He could only shake his head at this absurd dichotomy.
