- Reading – Proof That Edward Snowden Engaged In Espionage (lawhawk, LGF) http://t.co/rIJ60bOURq 20:54:58
- It is undisputed that Snowden broke the law. To me though whistle-blower vs something else depends on motives and where info released. 20:56:33
- Releasing info to press/public fundamentally different than selling/giving directly to other governments. Even if you sudo DCI to get docs. 20:58:26
- Maybe "undercover reporter" better term than "whistleblower" given what we now know though. Seems clear this was his goal in taking the job. 20:59:50
- Ppl who say docs don't target abuse missing that Snowden clearly believes mere existence of these programs is rights abuse regardless of law 21:04:24
- Snowden's point has never been that there have been abuses of the law. It is that the law itself is abusive. Goal of leaks is to show that. 21:08:57
