  "Willing to go to jail if necessary" != "actively wants to become a negative example to other potential wistleblowers"

        It makes the implication different. Ask Nelson Mandela.

            He says a lot of dumb shit. That's forgivable, he's in a stressful situation.

  just because he tried to escape it doesn't mean he didn't make that decision...
  • 794CD01 11y ago
    Doesn't it? He's not in jail right now.

  Do you expect he will get a fair trial? You can be a hero without being an idiot.
  • 794CD01 11y ago
    You can try, but as Snowden has shown, it's not nearly as effective.
