If there was a Snowden here. No I dont mean the sexed up/Iraq. That wasnt a massive leak of assorted files.
How would we feel?
I’d feel bloody outraged if it was revealed that our government have no respect for their own citizens, the rule of law, or for their international allies.
I’d also be shocked to discover that having gathered a terrifying amount of information, they do damn nearly nothing at all to protect it, giving it to random contractors and then letting them wander off with it. If I handled confidential information like the US government does, I’d get the sack, and my employer would get booted up the arse, and the most sensitive thing I can get my hands on is exam results.
And then, I’d be even more disgusted if instead of fixing the issues it unearthed, they put all their efforts (and my money) into demonising the person that exposed their guilty secret, and had the temerity to claim it was done in my name.
Was that not what you expected?
Also,
Even a thick **** would know that country will then come after you.
Er, yes, of course he knew they’d come after him. Yet he did it anyway. It’s not stupidity when you stand up for what you believe in, and find the strength to do what’s right.
That’s turtle power.
