"but I think it would be better if what happened in 2013 never happened in exactly that way again.)"

I think it would be better if what happened in 2013 had never -had- to happen in any way.

That's also true, but orthogonal to what I'm saying.

The point is that you've put the criticism on the person in the situation (Snowden) instead of the people/system that created the situation.

There isn't any perfect way, in the eyes of the state, to deal with a police state because it's a police state.
