Good essay about whistleblowing in general and the NSA leak in particular:

In my view, Obama ad-Dajjal's "peace prize" should be stripped away and given instead to Julian Assange, Bradley Manning, and the other whistle blowers (patriotic or otherwise) who have done something too few of us are willing to do:
And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred Honor.
If members of this administration and the Congress won't honor their oath to preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution, then it is up to the rest of us to do so.
Craven mercenaries like Petraeus and Mullen do not deserve your respect. Liars like Obama ad-Dajjal and Eric Holder do not deserve your fealty.
Those who risk their lives, fortunes, and honor deserve our gratitude, not our persecution.
