As a counter-point (regardless of the legalities) if there are, as he conjectures, 1.2 million people on a drone kill-list (with seemingly no-oversight), is it not in the public interest that these things are highlighted by whistle blowers?
- Simon_says 9y agoI didn't really make a point, so I don't know what you think you're countering. I just asked a question, and apparently the answer is that he doesn't disclose classified information.
- _joel 9y ago> Surely he had security clearances and made an oath not to break them This is what I'm countering, perhaps something like this needs to be discussed as it's in the public interest.
- Bartweiss 9y agoI don't think OP was addressing morality, though, just raising the practical question of "isn't this a jailable action?"
- Simon_says 9y agoThat's exactly what I was asking.
- lern_too_spel 9y agoThis 1.2 million number sounds like his zettabyte number. Nobody could possibly take him seriously, and that's probably why he doesn't get into any trouble — it's not a crime to talk about aliens in Roswell or zettabyte capacity datacenters because those things obviously don't exist.
