Edward Snowden's exclusive, wide-ranging interview with Brian Williams attracted intense attention on social media Wednesday, with Americans divided on whether the fugitive leaker is a patriot or a traitor - but leaning toward the prior, says NBC News.

During the broadcast, tweets mentioning #Patriot outnumbered #Traitor nearly two to one.
