I'd like to quote this part:
I understand I am asking for people to engage in illegal and dangerous behavior. Do it carefully and do it safely, but -- and I am talking directly to you, person working on one of these secret and probably illegal programs -- do it.
In the heat of our anger against anything government and secretive, it's easy to forget about common people who work there and I believe more than one feel that what they do may be morally unjust.
It's not a comfortable position to be in. And greatly so for anyone deciding to speak up.
They make a great deal of sacrifice and I, as a citizen, am immensely thankful to them.
- thisone 13y agoMy problem with encouraging people to break the law is that they can delude themselves into believing that there will be no consequences to them personally. No matter how right you are to break the law, you will still have to face the consequences. If someone is going to martyr themselves for their beliefs, I sure as hell hope they have a damn good team of lawyers behind them.
