Today's Webtip: The Making of a Whistleblower

An article about the path that took Snowden from insider to exile.

Anyone looking for a bit more background on Edward Snowden might want to check out the Guardian again. They are featuring some controversial excerpts from Luke Harding's book "The Snowden Files".

The first installment takes us from Mr. Snowdens early days, his attempt at joining the military, and ends with his disappearance from Hong Kong.

The book itself is proving controversial, and the excerpt released on Sunday was met with anger by Wikileaks and Glenn Greenwald.

Not too surprising, actually.
