Thank you for sharing this.

I will be shocked if I find out that Snowden pursued any type of Whistleblowing channel before he spilled classified to the media. Until then, he's a leaker at best, not a whistleblower.

A question for you: during your time at the NSA did you feel you had adequate options to blow the whistle on any type of abuse or corruption of power? Did you ever pursue anything like that?

Having worked for a few government institutions i can believe the amount of enforced integrity in an environment like that. Thanks for the reply!

You question this man's account, yet you hail Snowden, a lowly network admin.

I've been saying this same thing for weeks, I'm more worried about how Verizon or Google is going to use my "meta data" than I am about the Government.

Snowden's disclosure was anything but. Even so, it didn't hold any revelations about disclosure.
