　　Edward Snowden’s removal of thousands of highly classified documents from the National Security Agency and his decision to turn them over to journalists for publication started a fierce debate about who and what he is. On one side are those who consider Snowden a whistleblower, someone who has done his country a great service. Others regard him as a criminal.

　　Snowden, meanwhile, says that his “task’s already accomplished,” that he has given Americans a “say in how they are governed” and that he has succeeded in exposing the workings of what he has called the uncontrolled “surveillance (监控) state.”

　　But one must ask: Are Snowden’s actions in consistent with his words?

　　Snowden has taken sanctuary (庇护) in Russia, a country that, under the guidance of President Vladimir Putin, a former Soviet KGB officer, has been sliding ever deeper back into dictatorship (独裁). The Federal Security Service (FSB) has invested in technology that allows it to monitor telephone and Internet communications and to collect and store not just metadata — information about call destinations and lengths — but also the content of communications. The Russian state uses that technology to engage in essentially unchecked surveillance of telephone calls, e-mail traffic, blogs, and Web sites. Over the past two years “the Kremlin has transformed Russia into a surveillance state — at a level that would have made the KGB envious.”
