What leaks, again? That the US gov thinks he caused national security damage? Well, duh, senior. That's not a leak, that's common sense that they would think that.

I just like to look at things objectively, but you clearly appeal mainly to emotion. My viewpoint on this has nothing to do with my viewpoint on the government.

View on HN

"A Pentagon review has concluded that the disclosure of classified documents taken by former NSA contractor Edward Snowden could "gravely impact" America’s national security and risk the lives of U.S. military personnel, and that leaks to journalists have already revealed sources and methods of intelligence operations to America’s adversaries. At least, that’s how two members of Congress who have read the classified report are characterizing its findings. But the lawmakers — who are working in coordination with the Obama administration and are trying to counter the narrative that Snowden is a heroic whistleblower — offered no specific examples to substantiate their claims."

try reading, vice links that article in the very quote I used. Well, duh, senior stooge.

So, to you, the leak is that the pentagon review thinks Snowden damaged the US's national security? That's not a leak.

The two members of congress had access to that report because of their position on the House Intelligence Committee. It was not leaked to them.

You've basically cited the same thing three times now, and it doesn't say what you think it apparently says. I understand you're deeply invested in this emotionally though. So I am done discussing this with you.

You are a fucking moron. The report was leaked to these two Republican lawmakers and these Republican lawmakers said the WH authorized the leak so they could "undercut" the Snowden narrative.

You need to do some serious reading comprehension. Seriously, you're a fucking idiot.
