Just because it's some secret spy organisation doesn't make it an evil entity. The powers they have to look into peoples lives is a tool they need to get the job done.

And where is he hiding out, a country that promotes freedom and democracy? No he's in Russia, one of the enemies of both those ideals.

Yes he seems to have found a country that seems willing to protect his human rights a hell of a lot more than the U.S. will its no suprise.
Imagine being hounded to death for breaking the freedom of information act that is the equivalent of what is happening to this man and to many others in his situation.
They are an oppressive regime to be feared.
