> Agreed, but since he did expose some pretty nasty stuff, maybe we should cut him some slack and focus on the real villains?

Maybe that's why he only got 35 years. More importantly, what unconstitutional thing did he release?

But really, that argument is basically saying that collateral damage is acceptable. Innocents can be destroyed if you kill just one guilty party.

> worse to expose secrets about crimes than to commit actual crimes.

Well no, he committed actual crimes that lead to actual suffering and death by intelligence agents.
