Whistleblower should be praised, not prosecuted
Placeholder Image
Edward Snowden’s “crime,” was warning his fellow Americans about a secret spy program conducted by his own government.Snowden, and most Americans would agree, believe it is morally wrong to randomly solicit phone and Internet information from private citizens who have done nothing except use their phone or computer. Snowden was shocked and angered over his government’s privacy invasions. Snowden worked for government contractor Booz Allen Hamilton and provided information about the spying operations to the British newspaper The Guardian.For that, Snowden should be praised, not prosecuted.
