you're using some interesting definitions for "bravery" here. why wasnt he "brave" enough to abscond with the chamber of commerce articles? Maybe he figured they implicated some partisan NGOs that he is on record as supporting? choosing people like snowden and greenwald as heroes says more about your moral shortcomings and general dishonesty than anything else. Russia is a dictatorship and snowden seems oh so comfortable there. why hasnt he incurred the wrath of Putin if he's such a hero for freedom?
