Ben Franklin said it best:

If he were brought home I'd like to see him heralded as a hero for exposing the US government illegally obtaining, storing, and analyzing private conversation's of American Citizens.

I think he also deserves to be penalized for exposing international spying techniques. I'd probably be a long way from the bullet camp though.
