  • Someone who turned out to be as morally corrupt as the governments he exposed. It's weird there seems to be a recent campaign to repaint him as an Edward Snowden type.

    • While I don't like him as a person, I also don't think he should be extradited for exposing the government. The public deserves to know what their government is doing.

      • Yes but not cherry picked and exposed in a fashion to help a particular group. That's not what Reality Winner or Snowden did. They have my respect.
