i don't see this leak as anything remotely like treason. nor sedition for that matter. nor espionage. none of it. i see it as an act of whistle-blowing, the sort of thing that a person of conscience might do in order to stop or impede stupid or unethical or otherwise reprehensible actions from being carried out by the corporate person for whom he or she worked. i see it as an ethical action. as a political act. in a civilian context, this guy would be protected by whistle-blowing laws from any prosecution at all. that is the way it should be.
no organization, particularly not one charged with killing people, should be above critique.
i don't know what's going to happen to this cat in reality--what's clear is that prosecuting him is going to be a political problem.
i expect nothing will happen to him.
which is as it should be.
but if this is treason, then i say: there should be alot more of it.
