Why, if Snowden was concerned with letting us know how we are spied on, why did he let us know how we spy on other countries? I think we should spy on other countries.

The last sentence is where he is - only in my opinion of course - completely wrong; no country should spy on other countries without very good reasons. And wanting to know what is going on behind closed doors of foreign governments or companies misses my definition of very good reasons by orders of magnitude.

Yes, it's curious why countries assume adversarial stances towards each other as a default. Yes, game theory and all that, but its better to be optimistic and hope the humanitarian spirit will prevail.
