Whistleblowing IS the reason. and yes, that is possible to occur even without the presence of 'good'

and to the moron who feels that russia has a 'sordid' history.. highly amusing that our whistleblower uncovering massive government spying and intimidation, would be discredited by being exiled to such a 'not free' country...
this isn't a step in the right direction, it's where i've been all along.

sure whistleblowing is a reason and obviously nothing good other than the reveal itself is coming from it

and that is exactly my point about why snowden is not a hero. he didn't do anything great, he didn't do anything brave. nothing good is resulting from what he did. no one is better off now. and even more importantly, several things are worse.
