This thread borderlines itself with hypernationalistic tendencies. When people use the word "country" they really mean "nation-state" or in the context of the U.S, since there exists no single nation, "state." According to the law of the land, both Manning and Snowden did the right thing by notifying the sovereign entity (the populous) of illegal activities instituted by their employees (the government.) Morally, for anybody who prides some degree of individualism, Manning and Snowden informed the individuals (not some silly construct of a nation which doesn't exist in the U.S) about the intrusions of their individual liberties by the U.S government. All in all, they were right, the state was wrong, and that's why they were(or would be) punished.
