yeah, that can't go wrong, wait, n/m snowden is sitting in hong kong after releasing classified documents.
i can understand how whistleblower had different definitions depending on the context but under this context, those documents reveal broad unethical misconduct.

Oh theres oversight and lots of it, when you apply for that clearance it takes over a year usually (back then) to get it and in the grand scheme mine was very low...they talk to everyone you ever knew...high school teachers, friends, enemies they try to dig up everyone they can.
Then after you get it you remain under increased scrutiny even after your clearance expires.
No amount of all of that will prevent someone from going rogue, thats just how it is. Personally I think his exposing this was a good thing, our government has gone way beyond what should be acceptable.
did ya ever notice how all that shit Nixon got impeached over is now legal?
