This is a great summary (relatively short, easy to read) of the current efforts to misdirect our attention and paint a whistleblowing hero as a villain. Don't fall for it.
Shami Chakrabarti: Let me be clear – Edward Snowden is a hero

It's all good, precise and to the point commentary. For me, this paragraph in particular is key:
"In March, the discredited, and now largely retired, intelligence and security committee produced a report into the legal framework covering surveillance. This was the same toothless committee that failed to spot the dodgy dossier, expose extraordinary rendition or pick up on the sheer scale of blanket intrusion outside of the law – which Snowden did a great public service in revealing."
