How is this for a secret, the fisa court ruled the nsa meta data program request was UNConstitutional. But the administration ha sruled the court decision Top Secret. Are these the kind of secrets you’re so worried about ?
I’m more concerned about what hasn’t been said given the large opportunity for known enemies to the US to pump Snowden for the most damaging material that he had. What goes on in the US can be fixed; what goes on in hostile territory can only be fixed by bringing him in.
Improperly disclosing anything of that level of classification(or any other that does not permit public disclosure) during any administration is still wrong, no matter if the contents give a fortunate view inside. Aside from being a civilian, Snowden’s case is no different than Manning’s with regards to their improper disclosures.
