An avalanche of media stories have worked overtime to convince readers that Edward Snowden's actions were just a step away from joining Lee Harvey Oswald's on American history's list of dark deeds. A step in a different direction appeared today, courtesy of the Associated Press.
An AP story, posted in today's philly.com, reported that former US senator Gordon Humphrey wrote Snowden an e-mail supporting what the solon characterized as whistleblowing.
Humphrey hails from the "Live Free or Die" state of New Hampshire. A card carrying member of the Republican Party, Humphrey was a two-term senator and was never, ever implicated in anything that might have jeopardized American national security.
Well, there's always a first time.
