Manning and Snowden should never be compared as whistleblowers. Snowden has so much moral high ground in the form of responsible disclosure compared to Manning that it does him a disservice to put him in the same sentence as Manning.

I disagree entirely, and despite my preference with Ed as his involvement encompasses Bitcoin, general cryptonerd stuff and the fact that I really enjoyed the 1/2 of Permanent Record I read, I still think Manning has shown great conviction under horrible circumstances and continues to Freedom Fight under constant horrible duress and personal harm.
I don't have heroes, but if I did the two would hold equally high positions given the efforts to inform the public at personal sacrifice to their careers and Life.
