Traitors or Heroes

Traitor: one who betrays a friend, country, principle, etc. Edward Snowden and the titan
Prometheus are both undeniably traitors. Edward Snowden was a CIA employee and Prometheus a titan
in Greek mythology.
By def. Snowden was a traitor. Edward Snowden was a CIA employee; he was trusted with
keeping classified files to himself. Snowden swore an oath when he joined the CIA. He has now spilt
information about the NSAs phone tapping and has sold who nows how much info to one of our biggest
adversaries, Russia. By the definition of the dictionary Edward Snowden is a traitor undeniably, he swore
an oath and was trusted but he broke that oath.
Prometheus was also a traitor by definition. He broke his trust with Zeus and spilt the secret of
fire to man. Hero: a man admired for his achievements and noble qualities. You see Prometheus gave fire
unto men which helped us build travel and eat. We were better off knowing of fire then we were without
it. With the NSA leaks it just caused more division the country. But also with Prometheus it brought war
and weapons. Prometheus was a traitor.
Both of these men are by definition traitors. They betrayed the trusted given onto them. By
whether it were The god Zeus or the U.S government. By definition these men are traitors.
