those of you that imbue Snowden, (others also include Manning) with being celebrity hounds first and foremost. "Opportunistic". And that they are cowards and assholes. Really? And the same vitriol is reserved for those that actually expose and/or write about their revelations like Greenwald and Assange.
One or more may be assholes from time to time as we all can be. But I do not understand what that has to do with how important those revelations may be or not be. Or that their assholishness somehow weakens their "argument".
Even more puzzling is the charge of being opportunistic! Like what was presented to them, documents that proved much corruption and even criminal activity withing their own government, and the "opportunity" to expose them is looked on as a lottery win....that if YOU only had the chance you'd be really really tempted to do the same, because of all the lucrative rewards. Rewards like either running for the rest of your life, the loss of your career and family...or even being locked up for 35 years....Hey, where do I sign up!
