ロシア亡命中のスノーデン氏は英雄かそれとも裏切り者なのか。アメリカでも見解は真っ二つに割れている。日本で同じようなことが起きたら自分はどちらの見解に立つだろうか？
What Should Happen to Edward Snowden?
There’s not much appreciation for nuance in the public discussion about Edward Snowden. Our editorial today tried to avoid the usual hero/traitor dichotomy of the cable news debates, saying that the public service value of his leaks outweighed the crime he committed by revealing to journalists the abuses of the National Security Agency. We called for some form of reduced punishment — a plea bargain or clemency — though we didn’t say he should be given a presidential pardon or a medal.
