My latest for TOL: "The Espionage Act was written and intended to punish people who aided and abetted the enemies of the American people. Bradley Manning and Edward Snowden gave, and always intended to give, their information to the press, and ultimately to the people of the United States. They did so because they expected, hoped, that We The People would be horrified at what their country was doing to them, and to people all around the world. But if we instead turn our backs on them. If we do not stand in solidarity with Bradley Manning and Edward Snowden, we deserve the government we’re going to get."
