I for one think the guy wasn't so bad, I understand the concern of different governments about him and his leaking documents. Governments are big on public opinion so very some very important things are kept from the public to protect their interest. That the way I really look at right now. I think making the public aware of some things that different governments want to be secret for surprise surprise "political reason" is not such a bad thing. I have a slight bias toward the interest of my home government I want them to be successful and all for my fellow neighbor and me, I don't think he really hurt and government by making these leaks. Politics after all is a dirty business, as well as beneficial too.
So I say I hope he get off easy.
