"I'd be much more interested in hearing what
Snowden's co-workers and bosses think. It's too bad he wasn't there long
enough
to develop any real relationships with them before he flew off to Hong Kong
to
break his oath."
I recall there was an interview late-June with one of his colleagues that
expressed roughly "I understand but wish he hadn't done it alone."
Sorry I can't find the reference at the moment.
In any case, the media fixation on this guy's judgement, training, loyalty
or whatever is moot at this point. He's a person, so he's flawed. This
all may have just been a royal screw-up on his part. So what?
The issue should be what was disclosed (even if misguided or accidental)
and how it relates to the constitution of the United States. It's fine to
dismiss him as weasel or a mole -- provided collective attention is given
to these questionable moves at the highest levels of our government. I'll
be disappointed if the conclusion is just fascism: "Do absolutely anything
to protect U.S. economic interests from harm."
