Is Edward Snowden a Patriot?

This question presents itself to every American. Some americans pose Edward as a patriot who fought the secrecy of the NSA to reveal the power the NSA has been building up ever since the dawn of the internet, but other americans (politicians) view him as terrorist who ruined the country. My position here is not to take sides, but to give others a clearer picture of the positive and negative outcomes of a debacle like this. The major positive is that it makes the Americans aware of how powerful a little department like the "NSA" could be. The major negative is that it hurts the US in many foreign affairs. These countries range from Germany to China.
