Both supporters and opponents of Snowden's actions can agree on one thing

17. I'm not talking about his conscience or bots.

If you went back and read what I wrote...what I actually accused him of is being just like his peers, many of whom would sell state secrets for a $40 steak, some cash and an afternoon with a high-rent call-girl. Someone with substantially less conscience than you're giving him credit for.

I'm arguing he's the exact kind of conscience-less bot we already have too many of...most aren't disclosing NSA spying programs, they're gossiping about their confidential work at Madam's Organ in order to impress and fuck a Georgetown undergrad.

It's happening because we're not sufficiently vetting applicants for clearances...he embellished his qualifications and resume. That alone should have come out in even the most-perfunctory vetting and permanently-barred him.

He's not special or unique...he's par for the course and higher-profile.
