Who is the greatest living American hero? Edward Snowden is a strong candidate. I just finished listening to his book, Permanent Record. It is mostly about how he came to make his famous disclosures, how and why he did it. I’ve also seen some video interviews with him. Everything he says comes off as informed by sincere concern for American ideals, yet at the same time completely reasonable and not ideological. It’s almost shocking how rational and moral this man is. Nearly every other public figure periodically says some jerky nonsense, or just comes off as phony (particularly politicians).
