Yes, but he released it to his half-wit mistress/biographer. Not to our enemies.

3-tiered actually, since Hillary’s crimes were worse than Petraeus, but she received no punishment at all.

So it seems to work like this:

1) Leftist elites = no punishment
2) Right-wing elites = light punishment
3) Everyone else = full punishment

There is only one organization one can "blow one's whistle" to and receive whistleblower protection. That is Congress.

Going to the press, Wikileaks, or the Russians doesn't count.

Hey Ed!

Snowden was a deliberate catastrophic compromise of US intelligence capabilities, to the whole world, including all of our enemies.

He did epic damage to our sources and methods of intelligence collection.

He should be executed.

[Buckeye McFrog]

His critique really applies more to Hillary than to Petraeus.

One released info to another former Army officer who also held security clearances and nothing classified was ever disclosed beyond that. That was wrong.

Manning disclosed classified info to the entire planet.

I guess Manning is confused about many things.
