If I give secret information to Bob, and Bob gives it to the enemy, that could land me on the hook for giving it to the enemy. Bob may not be at fault, either, since I'm the one that signed the secret clearance agreement with the government, not him.
I think this is all besides the point, though. Unless I'm missing something big, Snowden's crimes are all conditions of his having a security clearance.

- wpietri 12y agoThat might make you in violation of your security clearance agreement, which might be a crime. But it doesn't make you a traitor.
