CNN was non-stop asking politicians and pundits, \u201cIs Edward Snowden a traitor?\u201d Those who said he betrayed America also said something else: Mass surveillance is only an issue if you\u2019re a criminal. If you\u2019ve got nothing to hide then you\u2019ve got nothing to fear.<\/p>\n<p>The Snowden story hit me upon my return from \u2013 of all places on earth \u2013 the Secret Annex of the Anne Frank House.
