The world, especially the intelligence world, is more than black and white. A myriad hues exist, some of them dark and dirty, some grey. Here is a portrait of a man who is color blind. Experiencing the world only through a computer, he lacks the judgement to jump to the right conclusions, and goes thermonuclear only to find that mainstream Americans don't share his disability. He wants to be another Assange, but in the end he is another Manning.
- wmt 13y agoYou cannot seriously believe that an NSA contractor would be morally colourblind. He was expecting those shades of grey but instead found an agency more focused on spying it's citizens than Stasi.
- Grue3 13y ago>more focused on spying it's citizens than Stasi How in the world is it possible to post something as ridiculous as this? Is this what you kids truly believe? Snowden might be colour blind, but you sure are tone deaf.
- Peaker 13y agoWell, the NSA collected more data on US citizens than the Stasi ever collected on Germans.
- lhnz 13y ago>> only to find that mainstream Americans don't share his disability. It looks like you just got down-voted by almost everybody that read your comment. I guess when you look at yourself you should now say "here is a man that went thermonuclear only to find nobody else shared their disability." (When a man makes one judgment upon another, he should keep the ability to judge himself likewise.) FYI the article I read had him expecting to see grey and finding an ever blackening black - so in contrast to your own comment, you need to realise that you are communing with people that aren't color blind and believe that these shades of reality are complex and require discussion.
