7. Edward Snowden, traitor or hero? Edward Snowden was a contractor for the NSA and a former employee of the CIA. Snowden released thousands, if not millions of documents proving that various American intelligence agencies were violating their charters if not actually violating laws by gathering telephone conversations, emails, messages and various other communications of American citizens. Some people believe that Edward Snowden is a whistle blower against the super-secret intelligence agencies by leaking those documents. Other people believe Snowden is a traitor for violating American laws and fleeing to Russia in order to claim asylum and remain out of prison. Develop a hypothesis as to whether Snowden is a whistle-blower or a traitor and support that hypothesis with research.

You should research your topic, read the references and then paraphrase your sources. You are still required to cite your sources.
