enemy of the state? yes probably because he actually exposed the truth about how fucked up the US political system is
Too soon to tell: while people in this circumstance are formally being tried for violating security clearance, the merits of WHY they did this are the determining factor. Typically, the FAS crowd is more interested in good policy and steers clear of controversy, so Steven Aftergood speaking on the issue indicates that this is going to be a tough one. The gov't is REALLY pissed at this guy, and I'm curious how Obama is going to handle it.

It's already shaping up to be pretty explosive, so I'm watching. Espionage vs civil liberties cases are usually pretty nasty, but also VERY interesting!
unfortunately, he'll probably quietly be silenced. they all lay down, resistance is futile. no action will ever be taken to a court against the US. have you ever seen that movie "the international"? well that movie pretty much hits this head on....

I have a real problem with the way our elected officials fail to protect classified information.
The title of this thread made me think of a shitty childrens book
