The Banality of Systematic Evil

Prior to reading this article I thought that Snowden was just a traitor to his country. No ifs, ands, or buts. Just a traitor. But I have to admit that after reading this article, my opinion on the whole situation and other ones like his, has changed a bit. I can't say that I completely agree with the fact that Edward Snowden, Jeremy Hammond, Aaron Swartz, Chelsea Manning leaked highly confidential information but I understand that they were doing it because they felt like they would be doing something wrong if they didn't share the information but it was still wrong due to the fact they were going against their jobs ethic codes.
