NSA WhistleBlower Outs Himself

Posted by samzenpus on Sunday June 9, 2013 @08:22AM from the man-behind-the-curtain dept.

An anonymous reader writes "The individual responsible for one of the most significant leaks in US political history is Edward Snowden, a 29-year-old former technical assistant for the CIA and current employee of the defense contractor Booz Allen Hamilton. Snowden has been working at the National Security Agency for the last four years as an employee of various outside contractors, including Booz Allen and Dell. The Guardian, after several days of interviews, is revealing his identity at his request. From the moment he decided to disclose numerous top-secret documents to the public, he was determined not to opt for the protection of anonymity. 'I have no intention of hiding who I am because I know I have done nothing wrong,' he said."

I have a fantasy in which 1 million well-armed patriots surround this guy and tell the NSA / CIA / FBI / federal marshals that they're on the wrong side of the Constitution and can't have him.

This man may well be our Jesus. The government is going to crucify him in their fury.
Except, of course, he's unlikely to come back from the dead, or for his death to provide a means of eternal life.
So exactly like Jesus then.
