- второе противоречит третьему, а также результатам свеженького опроса:
More than half of American voters say self-declared NSA leaker Edward Snowden is a whistle-blower not a traitor, according to a poll published Wednesday.
The fugitive, believed to be holed up in the transit zone of Moscow’s Sheremetyevo Airport, was supported by 55 percent of those surveyed by researchers at Quinnipiac University, Connecticut.
About one-third (34 percent) of those polled said they believed Snowden had betrayed his country.
Of those who backed his decision to leak the contents of classified documents in order to expose the extent of government-sanctioned surveillance, there was equal representation from almost every gender, social group and political persuasion.
The remaining 11 percent did not have an opinion.
Peter Brown, assistant director of the school’s Polling Institute said the result illustrated public shock at the scope of intelligence-gathering by government agencies seeking to prevent future terror attacks.
"The fact that there is little difference now along party lines about the overall anti- terrorism effort and civil liberties and about Snowden is in itself unusual in a country sharply divided along political lines about almost everything,” he said.
“Moreover, the verdict that Snowden is not a traitor goes against almost the unified view of the nation's political establishment."
