It’s also quite clear by now that there was never any attempt to screen these documents, or expose wrongdoing, despite Greenwald’s claim that Snowden had personally “vetted” the documents.

Snowden took the job with the specific intent of stealing as many classified documents as he could access, and he didn’t give a shit about exposing wrongdoing or screening anything. He burned his co-workers by conning them out of their passwords, then grabbed as much as he could get and fled, just like a bank robber.

This is not a hero.
