He’s anything but that. He signed a document pledging not to reveal the
material he was granted access to. A man’s
word has to be his bond and this guy is criminally negligent to that bond. It’s not for some low level clerk to decide
that he knows better than the elected leaders who are paid to make the
decisions to protect us. This is a
deeply flawed guy searching to find notoriety and doing so at the expense of
the lives he will eventually cost.

| Loser |
Make no mistake, his actions
will cost lives, be it here, or somewhere else in the world where this data mining
effort has been successful in thwarting attacks. The same people who are lionizing his courage
will scream bloody murder when the government they so detest fails to prevent
an attack because the terrorists have changed their methods of
communication. This guy isn’t a hero –
he’s a pathetic loser.
I’ll climb down off my soap
box long enough to talk about the movie I saw last night – The Purge. It was set in the near future where crime had
been virtually eliminated by having one night a year when all crimes are
legal. The story revolved around one
rich family’s defense of their house against a gang of smarmy rich kids looking
to break in and kill them. Despite the gaping
holes in the plot this movie sports almost relentless tension as the family
fights for survival. Several times it
seemed almost like a slasher movie due to the incredibly stupid moves made by
the good guys that expose the family to greater levels of danger. It was however a much higher concept and you
feel literally exhausted by the end.
