  • I mean, what he exposed came with proof. There is no believe or disbelieve. It’s not religion, there is no faith. He made an assertion and proved it with evidence.

    If you think that the government doesn’t need to follow the laws and that they are immune, then yes I can see why what he did would seem negative.

    But if you believe the government should also follow its own laws, I have difficulty understanding your objection.

    The information is the information, focus on the man is only a distraction.

    A cat leaked it. A dinosaur leaked it. Hitler was resurrected and leaked it while riding a flying pig. Snowden leaked it and fled to Russia.

    It makes no difference, the information is the information regardless of the catalyst.

    Before Snowden, the US government was thought to obey its own laws, though obviously not always (for better or worse). After Snowden, we finally had confirmation that violations are commonplace and intentionally hidden.
