Report: Snowden Derided Gov't Leaks in 2009 Chat 
-------------------------------------------------


 
Edward Snowden's leaking of National Security Agency documents appears
to have come after a major change of heart on the issue of government
whistleblowers. In online chat logs from 2009 released by Ars Technica
this week, someone using Snowden's screen name criticized the disclosure
of classified government information, saying those who do so "should be
shot." The criticism came in response to a New York Times article based
on leaked information about U.S. cyber-attacks on Iran.
