Quote from PiggyBank:
I was of two minds when I first heard of this as well. It was part of his job description to keep classified information, classified, so he is technically a traitor. However, what he exposed is in fact a violation of our 4th Amendment Rights, the program he exposed is illegal and just plain wrong on every level. So he betrayed a govt that has betrayed it's citizens.. his is a worthy and necessary betrayal in my mind. I'm not totally convinced he isn't somewhat full of shit but there is obviously some truth to it or they wouldn't be pursuing him.. and they wouldn't have admitted to that program. That is a real act of Patriotism, and i believe he is a lib. I am hugely disappointed in Dick Cheney and others who can't see or don't care just how far off the rails they have gone with this stuff.
