In common law, unlawful contracts are not binding.

True. However, it is not unlawful to have someone sign a contract not to share national secrets. The secrets turned out to be horrific, in this case, but the contract was lawful.

Snowden committed a crime that pales in comparison to the (unfortunately legal) criminality of the NSA.

There’s a big difference between horrific and illegal. If what the NSA is doing is illegal, then it’s another kettle of fish.

“Snowden committed a crime that pales in comparison to the (unfortunately legal) criminality of the NSA.”

One is illegal, the other illegal.

The illegal is moral, the legal immoral.

Where you gonna come down?
