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.

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 26 mei
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 26 mei
files, a disproportionately large number of which concerned military top secrets nothing to do with surveillance....
Kristian Harstad 26 mei
eg military strategies, military equipment, anti terrorism plan details etc. He exposed intelligence assets and how

Putin is right, no doubt. And Alexander Litvinenko suffered terribly at the hands of your 'minders':
Kristian Harstad 26 mei
terrorists are tracked which will most likely lead to people being killed. Many intelligence assets had to be moved
Kristian Harstad 26 mei
He is using popular surveillance panic as cover for action for spying for Russia
Youth In Revolt 26 mei
completely incorrect, all the files handed over had to do with the illegal use of surveillance such as
Youth In Revolt 26 mei
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 26 mei
military secrets he has secrets regarding surveillance & the laws and morals broken by our government in relation
Youth In Revolt 26 mei
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 26 mei
You're wrong: only a tiny fraction of the files were handed over to the guardian and even fewer were made public.
Kristian Harstad 26 mei
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 26 mei
Hahaha misinformed much?

You aren't aware of the many times Snowden had had to answer criticisms on precisely this basis.It's you who is clueless
