Which is how figures like Thomas Drake[1] and Mark Klein[2] go the way of Claudette Colvin[3]; careful that you don't merely lionize the most reported figures in this struggle.
Also.. my apologies for leaning on a Civil Rights figure for an analogy, it's just the first thing that came to mind.

- jacobush 10y agoWow - thanks, never knew. Especially impressed by Thomas. It takes a lot for a senior person to challenge the status quo. He had a lot to loose and also had to have a lot integrity to reach that far into the NSA and not have all integrity abrasively stripped away from him on the long winding road to the top.
- pdkl95 10y ago> Especially impressed by Thomas. If you haven't seen it, I suggest watching Thomas Drake's talk[1] at 29c3.
