QOTD: Edward Snowden
by digby
The oath of allegiance is not an oath of secrecy. That is an oath to the Constitution. That is the oath that I kept that Keith Alexander and James Clapper did not.
The Snowden interview with Barton Gellman in the Washington Post is fascinating from beginning to end. It's important that you read it rather than simply accept what the talking heads on TV are saying about it. I watched Gellman on CNN this morning having to fend off some of the snottiest questioning I've ever seen a reporter have to put up with. He did well, but it's clear that much of the establishment media is still simply incapable of seeing this through anything but official lenses.
