In response to "Hopefully zero would choose that silly option -- nm" by ty97

It's not really so silly.

He exposed things that needed to be. So, in that sense he's a whistle blower.

But he took a job, and knowingly betrayed his country without exploring the options he had before him. By that definition, he is a traitor.

- I agree with that, but also think Snowden is as well. -- nm - Inigo Jan 15, 06:33 6
  - I have a problem with this. How is someone outing a traitor called a traitor for doing so? - ty97 Jan 15, 06:42 5
    - Because he took the job for the express purpose of betrayal. - Inigo Jan 15, 06:55 4
      - Look at how Congress has reacted to the leak. That's all the proof you need to realize that avenue was unavailable -- nm - ty97 Jan 15, 07:04 1
        
        The avenue is there. Snowden admitted to it. It might be ineffectual, but it's there. -- nm - Inigo Jan 15, 07:06

    - It's not expansive. It's an actual dictionary defintion. I didn't make it up. -- nm - Inigo Jan 15, 06:51 1
