To be fair, very early on he says, "I was charged with, and a jury convicted me of, leaking classified information to a New York Times reporter."
He doesn't try to protest his innocence.
- zeveb 10y ago> He doesn't try to protest his innocence. No, but neither does he seem to have any real recognition that he did wrong. Indeed, reading his article I get the sense that he's a narcissist.
- zzzcpan 10y agoMaybe don't assume that he's wrong. You only see what government presents to you about him. And you know, government would never make itself look bad.
- nl 10y agoIt's an article in The Intercept. That isn't a publication that is known for making government look good.

- drivingmenuts 10y ago> No, but neither does he seem to have any real recognition that he did wrong. That's not what the article is about. He provides enough information to establish where he is and why. You're looking for something that the author is apparently not interested in writing about. Why? No idea, but it's not terribly pertinent to the remainder.
