"He's a fucking spy, and I caution all of you not to stick your asses too far out on Snowden's branch. We may applaud the results, but Snowden is no Daniel Ellsberg. "

...note this admission.

9) Snowden didn’t deny turning over secrets that would be damaging or harmful. He only said journalists have a deal with him not to do it. Just a reminder: we really have no idea how many reporters or organizations have copies of the documents or the total number of documents (it’s a Greenwald/Snowden secret), but we do know that Snowden documents have been reported by so many publications that the question arises: who doesn’t have Snowden documents?
