I don't want Snowden pardoned

If part of the pardon agreement means he returns the rest of the info he's got, no way do I want him pardoned. There's something there, and it's probably big, that he's still not leaked. I want to know what it is.

for permanent universal immunity for any/all corporate/gov't whistleblowers....

I've been slowly coming to the realization that one way or another 90% of the data will never see the light of day, anyway...

and clamoring for it since DAY ONE...Evidently I've been the only one...

Snowden+Greenwald have a gameplan of what gets released to who and when, which they clearly aren't deviating from under any circumstances...And it is obviously apparent that this plan does not involve a wider scope of topics than they're already doing...

I'm not faulting them, because I'm sure they have their reasons....

The idea that Snowden is in charge of anything is ridiculous.

Just like Manning, he has no idea of what he gave away.
