Its clear that you felt it was fair to report Chelsea Manning because he was a threat to the safety of our country. My question is: If you were in the same situation with Edward Snowden would you also turn him in or do you believe he helped the country? Would you keep the identity of anyone secret?
Had I known everything Snowden planned to leak and where he was going to go? I don't think anyone outside USG would ever know his name.
As for your second question, I've kept and still keep plenty of identities secret in various contexts. I've threatened to resign to keep sources secret.
People tell me about their hacks and situations all the time. It's a totally different thing than having someone confess a history-making blow against your nation's state security, and I still maintain it has to be lived to be understood.
