Der Spiegel: Snowden gave out information that could endanger the lives of NSA workers [View all]

"SPIEGEL has decided not to publish details it has seen about secret operations that could endanger the lives of NSA workers."

Wow, he just keeps on adding to his list of crimes. He has pretty much assured that he will spend the rest of his life in a federal supermax prison.
