Which of his pals did he sell out?
- mpyne 12y agoThere's a few hundred thousand still in uniform. After all, it's not like he only leaked things he subjectively felt were instances of "domestic surveillance", in which case we might be able to have a different conversation about his actions. Failing that, there's the people in a certain country whom Greenwald himself claimed would be put directly at risk if that country name were to be revealed. But WikiLeaks leaked it anyways.... which is directly attributable to Snowden. But that's the beautiful things about things like what he does. It's like coal polluting the air... we know it kills people in the abstract, but you can't point to a slouched-over body directly attributable to any given lump of coal.
- vilhelm_s 12y agoWait, how is Wikileaks related to Snowden?
- mpyne 12y agoSnowden is the source of the data WikiLeaks leaked. It's not as if he only gave it to Greenwald.
- vilhelm_s 12y agoSource? All I have ever read states that he gave it a group of journalists, but I have never heard it claimed that he gave anything to Wikileaks. If he did, why have they not released any of it?
