Revising earlier tweet: Edward Snowden can be both a whistleblower and full-fledged leaker.
@speechboy71 There's a whole slew of possibilities. Including the most damning.

@emptywheel Sure, but it seems pretty hard to define the leak today as whistle blowing -
@speechboy71 The original NSA leaks? Or the leaks that came out after his location was IDed in HK? -
@emptywheel Not sure I understand the question or why it matters. It appears he leaked info that doesn't contain clear ev of wrongdoing -
@speechboy71 I'd say "doesn't contain clear ev of abnormal state behavior." But those came after his location IDed in HK. -
@emptywheel I don't know why that matters, esp since he IDed his own location. -
@speechboy71 In law? it doesn't. In claiming to understand we know what's going on? It might. -
@emptywheel It's pretty clear that this material was leaked before he IDed himself. - 2 more replies

@emptywheel@speechboy71 This spy novel writes itself. It's amazing. It's like Our Man in Havana, but different. -
@charlie_simpson@speechboy71 But that is admitting that spying on Russians and hacking CHina is solidly w/in realm of normal state behavior -
@emptywheel@speechboy71 It's all about the timelines...Which are really unclear to me at this moment. -
@charlie_simpson Agree. We know this and Chinese interview post-date initial releases. Don't know what Guardian had.@speechboy71
