From the blog post at: http://wp.me/p3xSxU-hJ The most disappointing aspect to all of this is that the ignorance of these two ‘commentators’ misled the viewers and may well have resulted in lending credence to the idea that Chelsea Manning and Edward Snowden were egoists hell bent on celebrity at the cost of the lives of intelligence officers and others whose names or identities had been revealed by the whistleblowers’ breach of confidence. None of that is true and that much is made clear from the rebuttal put forward by the only guest on the show with direct knowledge of the events Professor Gavin MacFadyen, Director of City University’s Centre for Investigative Journalism, who was given less than 90 seconds of air time in this otherwise facile debate.
