On the Espionage Act charges against Edward Snowden

Glenn Greenwald, Guardian ( uk )

quote:

And that is precisely why the US government is so furious and will bring its full weight to bear against these disclosures. What has been "harmed" is not the national security of the US but the ability of its political leaders to work against their own citizens and citizens around the world in the dark, with zero transparency or real accountability. If anything is a crime, it's that secret, unaccountable and deceitful behavior: not the shining of light on it.

comment:

A boffo piece says a conservative guy of a liberal writer.  One for the ages.

But the country should be up in arms, and it is not.  We're in the deepest of trouble.
