(39,909 posts)Snowden "revealed U.S. state secrets to other countries."
The only documentation I have seen is explicit in that Snowden turned over classified documents to The Guardian and a couple of other established News Agencies, and these News Agencies then decided what they would publish in the People's Interest and the people's Right to Know.
I haven't seen a report from any credible source that claims that Snowden gave any classified information to any foreign governments,
and Snowden himself has denied this.
I HAVE seen this persistent false claim stated many times of DU,
but that doesn't make it true.
Giving classified documents to a News Outlet,
and letting them decide what to publish in the people's Interest and Right to Know makes one a "Whistle Blower",
and is VERY different from handing it to a foreign government.
So, please provide some documentation for your claim
from an credible news Source.
