I'm sure that an administration that has been relentless in crushing whistleblowers will find it easy to criticize someone like Edward Snowden, and his breach of security. While it is still unclear who he is, it is hard not to look at the man behind the story and see someone who could be any one of us. As this story moves forward we will be told who he is by different people representing different interests. If nothing else he is courageous, and in the mean time all of us are having the debate he hoped we would. After listening to him I am of the opinion that this issue couldn't have found a clearer and more articulate voice then Edward Snowden, if he is who he says he is. He explains himself in a manner that is calm and rational as he speaks, with words that have a quiet power, and yet who he is doesn't matter. Who are we?
