        It is odd how doing the right thing doesn't matter. Morals, ethics and integrity are tossed for the supposed great good? Or is it about control?

        It's not right to create false whistleblowers.

        #Elsberg and #Snowden are true heroes of our time. They are fighting for very important things like civil rights or freedom of the press and give us hope and guidance in todays challenging world. Thanks a lot guys, we appreciate your courage!

        I hate the perpetuated idea that whistleblowers only expose life or death situations. The majority of us expose fraud or mismanagement. That doesn’t nec mean life or death, but it’s important too

        If lives are on the line, which to me are precious, not so for many on the left, then yes exile or prison is worth it.

        Isn't this precisely the type of question, that the authorities would like people to consider?? Thank you, Ed Snowden for looking out for us all!!

        Sometimes it's even the price of fame. Of course, that's if fame is one's objective.

        That's like assuming someone is psychic. The consequences can be guessed at but no-one really knows how it is going to pan out.

        Citizen Four is a very interesting watch. Snowden had a very good grasp of the consequences of his actions from the footage prior to the whistleblowing.

        Of course, and made him untouchable in that sense. Any accident would look awfully suspicious.
