> The only thing that separates this generation of whistle blowers, if they were to take after Snowden, from the previous ones would be their insincerity of purpose and a distinct lack of selflessness.
Because the Gov't treated all of the other NSA whistleblowers that used official channels as heroes, by firing them and trying to charge them with crimes? Either no one in the NSA has any character and people today are so different from yesterday, or the way the US treats whistleblowers has changed and people have adapted.
Who cares if Snowden isn't a perfect human being and martyr? It matters more to me that he was concerned with the safety and privacy of all Americans.
