Edward Snowden steals the show

[leveymg]

2. I'm glad that Snowden broke the rather passive mold for whistleblowers. Note that people are

finally paying attention and the long-delayed national debate on the many steep, terrible costs of the national security state are finally beginning in earnest. This may not have been the ideal way to rouse us out of our national slumber about surveillance, but it's past time.

I admire Drake, Binney and Wiebe for their loyalty and disciplined approach, but Snowden has gotten results.
