Exemplary. I am glad that men like he exist, bur I am genuinely fearful for his safety. Look what happened to Bradley Manning.
I think it was a good thing that he revealed his identity so as to speak with authority and be representative of the current events.
But I also believe it was done too early and too carelessly - the government now knows exactly where to look for the leak and prosecute him to the fullest extent of the law.
- codehalo 13y agoThe "law" is standing on very weak foundation right now. It is those that enforce these laws who should be tried, not Edward Snowden.
- tomjen3 13y agoHe would have to do that to protect himself. Nobody is going to take it seriously when they discover child porn on his computer, or he turns out to be a russian spy and he isn't going to rot in gitmo (or worse, the secret prisions we don't even know about but which most certainly exist somewhere, probably either in som eastern european country or in the middle-east). They will have to try him in the US, and they would have serious problems on their hands if they treat him like Bradley Mannning.
- a3_nm 13y ago> I think it was a good thing that he revealed his identity so as to speak with authority and be representative of the current events. I disagree. We have the technology to allow people to speak with authority and be representative with the protection of anonymacy (or pseudonimity). I find his courage admirable, but I still think it is a bit of a waste.
