Edward Snowden has identified himself as the leaker behind recently disclosed sensitive surveillance programs, and his actions are in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 798:
"Whoever knowingly and willfully communicates, furnishes, transmits, or otherwise makes available to an unauthorized person, [including by publication,] classified information [relating to] the communication intelligence activities of the United States or any foreign government, [shall be fined or imprisoned for up to ten years.]"
There are appropriate ways to be a whistleblower, and disclosing classified information to foreign media is not among them. Bring this fugitive to justice!
