Did Snowden go to his superiors about the program?
Did anyone care?
If the Russians wanted to steal our information why not just steal the information? They have many of the secrets Snowden talked about already (via their own intelligence agencies, Russia is no slouch) and could publicize them if they wanted to, or release them anonymously and pretend it was some hackers on steroids.
It just doesnt hang together that Snowden is a spy for me, whether or not you approve of what he did.
- tlear 12y agoMostly because Snowden and his image and how it was done make the whole thing much more believable and has more impact in US and Europe then random anon disclosures. Who knows what his motivations are, they very well maybe noble. Enemy of my enemy is my friend kinda thing.. and when you face US gov power you need powerful friends. He saw what happened to other whistleblowers. In the end whatever the story is I think he did a great thing for the republic in the long term.
