Talk:Edward Snowden
[edit] Okay, seriously, you guys...
The line He also believed that "whistleblowers should be shot in the balls" just prior to president Bush leaving office in 2009 suggests we think he leaked the information that he did because the president happened to be a Democrat and Snowden is a Republican. Snowden may indeed be a Republican, but you've got to provide legitimate evidence (incidentally, you will probably never find any) that Snowden had partisan motivation for the leaks before you imply something so deeply unlikely on a wiki obsessed with the truth. The significance of the fact that Snowden's opinion about whistleblowers changed so dramatically changed is that the information he released was so damn terrifying that it forced him to rethink his entire adult life's work.

- Agreed. Though we also need to stress this sentiment: "In fairness to Snowden, it's possible to effect US policy for the better and still be a myopic megalomaniac asshole." Osaka Sun (talk) 7:17, 4 May 2014 (UTC)
