If you haven't seen Citizenfour, watch it when you have a chance. I already respected what Edward Snowden did, but I came away with even more respect after watching him bring Glenn Greenwald up to speed with what's been going on. His deliberate decision to share this story with the world was amazing, and watching his commitment to that decision was inspiring and motivating.

- wcummings 10y agoMore than anything, the movie drove home how much he is "one of us". Everything down to the dorky jokes (his "mantle of power") reinforces that he comes from the same subculture, and he's just another hacker. In a lot of ways he could have been someone you or I know.
- Fnoord 10y agoAgreed, and I often ponder on how much that counts for any NSA employee, and I find that a frightening thought.

- glitchdout 10y agoI'd say it counts a bit. At least according to Keith Alexander who recently said that NSA's best are "leaving in big numbers". https://www.cyberscoop.com/nsa-morale-down-keith-alexander-mike-rogers/ https://www.cyberscoop.com/nsa-morale-down-keith-alexander-m...
