It as in fact slightly better...


It was in fact slightly better to offer secrets for sale to the enemy than to offer them for free to a domestic reporter. A reporter will tell the public, whereas an enemy is unlikely to share its prize even with its allies.

Remark: This is NOT about what Edward Snowden did. This is what he experienced what intelligence agencies do.
