"Is Edward Snowden Engaged in Civil Disobedience?"

Sometimes, perhaps I should worry, find some on the left over the top & this includes some of the support of Edward Snowden. I think this has it mostly right and "the value of some of [his and others] revelations does not mean that they deserve the prestige and influence that has been accorded to them." Details at links. The fear of unjust legislation hindering his defense doesn't quite do it, sorry. Did MLK have it easier or something?
