Opinions Review | Ruth Marcus: Snowden, the insufferable whistleblower - The Washington Post

Ruth Marcus: Snowden, the insufferable whistleblower - The Washington Post 


Time has not deflated Edward Snowden’s messianic sense of self-importance. Nor has living in an actual police state given the National Security Agency (NSA) whistleblower any greater appreciation of the actual freedoms that Americans enjoy.
Insufferable is the first adjective evoked by Snowden’s recent interview with Barton Gellman in The Post, but it has numerous cousins: smug, self-righteous, egotistical, disingenuous, megalomaniacal, overwrought.
