    For those who compare me unfavorably to Daniel Ellsberg, Ellsberg's own position on my choice is worth reading:https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/daniel-ellsberg-nsa-leaker-snowden-made-the-right-call/2013/07/07/0b46d96c-e5b7-11e2-aef3-339619eab080_story.html …

        I think Ed's done right by me more than the government EVER has on this issue. His "crime" is he wasn't corrupt like the rest.

        Same folks who compare you and Ellsberg unfavorably, are the same kind of folks who called Ellsberg a traitor as well.

        And so is @Snowden. Even more so, in fact, as a frenchman, I can say he is an international treasure.
