Edward Snowden
Today's New York Times: Obama and Clinton are wrong: today's whistleblower protections are "worse than a dead end."
We should amend the Espionage Act to allow for a public interest defense.

I don't think it's going to get bette any time soon
Dominique Soenens May 26
But in most European countries it's even worse.
Kristian Harstad May 26
Giving military top secrets to Russia and China while distracting the public with surveillance panic doesn't make u a whistleblower

the nsa has nothing to do with the military moron
Kristian Harstad May 26
I'm not a moron: you have not understood. Snowden did not just publicise surveillance: he handed over 1.7 million (1/2)
Kristian Harstad May 26
files, a disproportionately large number of which concerned military top secrets nothing to do with surveillance....
Kristian Harstad May 26
eg military strategies, military equipment, anti terrorism plan details etc. He exposed intelligence assets and how
Eamonn Fitzgerald May 26
Putin is right, no doubt. And Alexander Litvinenko suffered terribly at the hands of your 'minders':
Kristian Harstad May 26
terrorists are tracked which will most likely lead to people being killed. Many intelligence assets had to be moved
Kristian Harstad May 26
He is using popular surveillance panic as cover for action for spying for Russia
Youth In Revolt May 26
completely incorrect, all the files handed over had to do with the illegal use of surveillance such as
Youth In Revolt May 26
the usage of drones in killing people etc. Snowden wasn't a general in the army he doesn't have the top
Youth In Revolt May 26
military secrets he has secrets regarding surveillance & the laws and morals broken by our government in relation
Youth In Revolt May 26
you just proved you have no idea what you're talking about with that comment so I don't care to debate any further
Kristian Harstad May 26
You're wrong: only a tiny fraction of the files were handed over to the guardian and even fewer were made public.
Kristian Harstad May 26
Wrong: he was given very high security clearance because of his NSA role. You don't know what you're talking about.
Youth In Revolt May 26
Hahaha misinformed much?
Kristian Harstad May 26
You aren't aware of the many times Snowden had had to answer criticisms on precisely this basis.It's you who is clueless
