And? RT @emptywheel: Those who like to call Snowden a defector: Govt charged him as a spy before he arrived in Russia.
@smsaideman So long as govt charges people same whether they flee to safety or not, what will happen? Govt says leaking to press WORSE

@emptywheel Sticking to Snowden, if he is sharing intel w other countries, he can b spy before fleeing country. Defection after he flees -
@smsaideman Sure. But that's not the way it happened as far as we know. Why the timing of charge is relevant. -
the problem,
@emptywheel, is neither Snowden nor Manning are "leakers" as we conventionally think. But overcharging can be problematic 1/2
