I thought that he had no protections and only leaked what supported his claims. I learned that not only did he not pursue proper channels, he leaked a lot more than required. I have no more good faith left for him. Between this report, and working in the same industry, I no longer believe anything that he says. Whatever good might have come out of this is overshadowed by the harm that he caused.

He gave it to the Intercept/Guardian and let them decide what to publish.

So what it comes down to is would you rather he decide what the public gets to know, or journalists?

I think letting the journalists decide was a decent call. It's what journalists are for.

That's a fair assessment. I don't think I have enough information to determine either way.
