Snowden is the only responsible one of the lot. Assange is an attention addict and Manning's leak was essentially a slow-burn temper tantrum.
I don't like the way their respective governments are treating any of them, however.
- norea-armozel 10y agoI think the Snowden point is even made more true since he recently said that Wikileaks should've curated the recent leaks better (removing identifying information and the like of civilians especially in the AKP emails). Of course, Wikileaks shot back a tweet about Snowden trying to get a "pardon" from Hillary. God, it's just sad.
- Iv 10y agoSnowden did it after the others. And also, contrary to Assange, he knew exactly the charges that would be pressed against him. Assange, legally, just did journalism. Personally I would argue that Snowden is the one that taught us nothing, apart the name of the programs we knew existed. Hearing that Assange is an attention addict is really sad: he knows that without attention he will die or stay in his diplomatic prison forever. It is a bit hard to call an attention addict someone who would die if he fell out of the radars.
