It might not be the perfect post subject for my comment but I have to say that oh my god a part of the us and canada population are having negative impact on their own security by keep wanting to disclose classified document. They hurt themself, Edward S. is the same, priviledgious who disclose under anonyma to jounalist are the same too. they want to feel important and special or think that the population and the government are working against each other but in the same backyard, which is false. They need to work from their own backyard where no one can see so we can continue to see a good life in our own backyards. Gov is not a big monster for criss, many from secret service have family and are doing it to even play hero to protect our homeland, not to hurt us.
