(1 post)We have so many leaks because we are a free country and people are not assassinated for revealing top secret information or for publishing on it. There are so little leaks of actual documents from countries where protesting is punishable by deathsuch as China, or espionage as in the Russian informants involved in the Robert Hansen case, or they are shut down immediately as the Russian page I checked was. People in Russia and China would be giving their lives and probably the lives of their families to do this. Leaking all this stuff is a luxury of living in a society such as ours. I don't agree with the government collecting all this civilian data, but terrorism is a civilian war, so I am not surprised. Our foreign informants and CIA agents probably get killed before they can get much information. I still think Snowden should be thrown in prison and detained forever. He admitted what he did, throw away the key. And let Assange face his rape accuser. He is afraid of prison. Wimp. Let Russia have a crack at trying to slip some poison in his food. I don't know why Russia let this guy land there. They threatened Wikileaks if they would release a lot of info on them. Makes Russians look weak. Since he leaked more documents while in Russia, they could probably just throw Snowden in a Gulag. If a Russian did that of Russian information, a Gulag would be light punishment.
