- arp242 3y agoUnlike Snowden, Assange never leaked anything, he merely published leaks. A subtle but important difference. Someone like Glenn Greenwald is a more apt comparison, and he's still living his life in freedom.
- IG_Semmelweiss 3y agoAgreed. Yet, and Unlike snowden or arrange, Greenwald has not violated the veil of perceived inviolability of the national security caste in USA. Which is why Snowden & Assange have more in common with each other vs Greenwald. For the US natsec caste, laws and facts do not apply, the only thing that matters is the perceived status as above-the-law, and who is openly attacking such status
