How exactly do you see he could have blown the whistle without releasing supporting evidence, classified or not? Had he come out and made these claims without any supporting evidence, do you think anyone would have noticed? Or would he have just been relegated to the sidelines, denounced as a crackpot, etc.?
- at-fates-hands 13y agoRemind me again how telling the Chinese when and how the NSA was hacking them makes us or our country safer? http://legalinsurrection.com/2013/06/nsa-leaker-edward-snowden-reveals-new-us-hacking-accusations/ http://legalinsurrection.com/2013/06/nsa-leaker-edward-snowd... "has divulged information to the Post which showed how computers in the SAR and on the mainland had been targeted by the NSA over a four-year period." Pointblank, this had NOTHING to do with the domestic NSA surveillance he was uncovering. It just gives the Chinese a really good idea of how you're carrying out your surveillance and allows them secure their networks. For all of the security stories about the Chinese hacking Google and other US companies and stealing their secrets, I find it ironic nobody seems to care this country had been trying to locate and disrupt this sort of state sponsored hacking. So yeah, this is WAY beyond what I consider "whistleblowing"

- bobwaycott 13y agoSo I take it you support American cyber aggression? Locate and disrupt state-sponsored hacking with more state-sponsored hacking? If you're okay with your government hacking other sovereign nations, that may explain why you have a strange line in the sand that whistleblowing is only for domestic purposes. Others may not be so charitable.
