And the "degree of detriment" is immaterial - and also special pleading.
The Rosenbergs were executed for passing on specs for bomb sights that were never deployed by either the US or Soviets.
Are you comparing Snowden to the Rosenbergs?
As a courtesy, can you again provide the source of your link?
If anything, Snowden = Joe McCarthy in the scope of exposing cloaked corruption and .guv conspiracy against We The People.
According to whom? Those Police-Statists who are exposed as having supported the illegality of treating every American as a suspect of terrorism while harvesting every shred of private info possible?
This is fundamentally un-American and although redundant, un-constitutional.
I would welcome this case, this issue be addressed by the Supreme Court.
Are you saying that spying on innocent American civilians is a MILITARY secret?
Doesn’t that implicitly say that a state of war between the citizens and the government actually exists, or is being planned, or can reasonably be anticipated?
Extraordinary claim.
Extraordinary claims require extraordinary proof.
Show us all please?
As far as I am concerned Snowden is a hero. And I base that solely on your goddess, one Diane Feinstein calling him a traitor. Knowing what she stands for, her considering him a traitor makes him a hero in my book. next time you report to her, you can tell her your cover as a latest mole has been blown.
