Hi KTC:

While I don't put Snowden in the same category, I do find Obama's behavior in this regard VERY troubling!
This has been discussed prior to Snowden.
My rule of thumb, how would I react if GWB was doing the same...

Obama has Prosecuted More Whistleblowers than All Other Presidents COMBINED 

Posted on April 22, 2012 by WashingtonsBlog

Obama Aggressively Prosecutes Whistleblowers … But Refuses to Go After White Collar Criminals

Ronald Reagan, George W. Bush, George H.W. Bush and Bill Clinton each prosecuted financial crime more aggressively than Barack Obama.

But that doesn’t mean that Obama is failing to prosecute. He is just aiming at a different type of target.

The New York Times reported last year:

In President Obama’s 26 months in office, civilian and military prosecutors have charged five people in cases involving leaking information, more than all previous presidents combined.

On the campaign trail four years ago, US presidential candidate Barack Obama shared his views on whistleblowers. He said: "Often the best source of information about waste, fraud and abuse in government is a government employee committed to public integrity, willing to speak out. Such acts of courage and patriotism ... should be encouraged rather than stifled."
