Many of the comments here debate whether the news media should be reporting about his lack of degree or other facts about him.

Consider the corollary, though. Should the media be omitting parts of his life or credentials? We have a man who took a significant unilateral action and as we debate that action and the proper response to it, issues like his motivations and qualifications need to be reported, not hidden.

Given the magnitude of the revelations, Snowden himself shouldn't be the media's primary focus, but information on cell phone data grabs and PRISM for everyone except his leakees is very hard to come by.

We're at the early stages of this debate and we're just scratching the surface.
