    This is what true courage looks like. He clearly saw through the BS and did something about it. I don't give these out too often but he definitely deserves this: I> (salute)

    I assume he gave up his American citizenship before he did this. Also, I'm wondering if his action will spread onto others...exposing the truth behind this tyranny?

    My very first thought "Where is his family?"
    What a brave, smart, strong, principled man! Hooray for this much needed hero who did the right thing. This matter needs to get burst wide open and stay on the front burner for forever... All of our rights and freedoms depend on it...not to mention is safety. His biggest fear, "that nothing will change." A good man who DIDN'T stand by and do nothing. Tyranny be damned!

    Q: How to you feel now, almost a week after the first leak?

    A: "I think the sense of outrage that has been expressed is justified. It has given me hope that, no matter what happens to me, the outcome will be positive for America. I do not expect to see home again, though that is what I want."
