OK, Aeoli, let me put it this way. The difference between their respective situations is as follows, in a round about way. Snowden in his position was like your friend you decide to confide in a sensitive secret, as long as they tell no one else, but then betrays your confidence. How would you feel about that person for going against your wishes? Dundar, on the other hand is not restricted by a promise like that. Security personnel tend to sign contracts stipulating how they should keep state secrets just that secret. Only one of them had freedom in regards to their respective issues disclosed. |
Obviously, this is very subjective perspective and as I gave the example before, there would be nobody to accuse, if Snowden told everything to a reporter and kept his identity as secret.
However, your attitude is like that there is swimming ban and a guy is getting in that pool to save one little girl. But you are arguing with him about why he got in the pool.
My mean serving public/global interest always comes first. Example, what will you do if one guy from Turkish secret service come to USA with all the document which show ISIS and Turkey cooperation?
