14. Even if it is included, it does not defuse the headline

Why? Snowden has given Greenwald and others memory keys with these things that are suppose to be devastation Assume even ONE has a different agenda and they release something. This is the risk that Snowden has taken - and it is unacceptable. (Not to mention absolutely illegal on Snowden's part.

Had he stopped at speaking about the various spy programs, it would have been illegal, but defensible. Had he gone a step further and released just those documents detailing the programs, many would say it was needed as back up. EVERYTHING else he has done goes far beyond this and I find it amazing that people accept it. If he really has a list of all CIA agents - that he risked by not just giving to others, but taking with him to China and Russia, that is stupid beyond belief unless he wants to take down the CIA.

To put it in perspective, no one on DU defended Cheney and Libby et al outing Valerie Plame.
