You think him fleeing to Russia is inconsistent? It seems to me that the organizations he's exposed are the sort of outfits that would murder someone like him, so in order to stay alive I don't know what other choices he would've had.

Agree on Greta btw, but to continue with the same example, I would say that killing a little girl is less likely, because it would create a martyr. And if she were ever in danger I wouldn't hold it against her if she chose to disappear somewhere. She's already done more than enough.

My point being, I don't necessarily see the difference, and I'm a bit confused at the apparent hesitation to label Snowden a hero. Tempted to assume that the smear campaign is working even in these circles.
