Edward Snowden has had his passport revoked, and is stuck in Moscow, according to Time.
The list of countries willing to take Snowden is shrinking as more say either "no" or "apply in person."
Whistle blowing keeps getting more dangerous. While Assange is holed up in an Ecuadoran Embassy, Bradley Manning is still facing a whole host of charges for having a greater allegiance to exposing the truth to the masses then protecting them by...what exactly? Withholding that information?
We are moving to an open source information age. Secrets are getting harder to keep. It is up to us to demand open access to information. We children of the 80's 90's and 00's are the next generation of policy makers. Our apathy is the only thing stopping us from greater knowledge, and secrets are like water slipping between the fingers of those that would keep it from us.
By my count, Snowden is a patriot. So is Manning. Dissent is patriotic.
