Indeed, this was exactly why I tipped my hat to him when the leak was first made public here, as it was almost the polar opposite of what Manning did. Perhaps Snowden's "careful evaluation" will finally drive the point home here on HN (one can hope) that such leaks should themselves be carefully evaluated. But I'm even more impressed he's unveiled himself, which takes incredible bravery even if you assume every protection of due process is available to you.
