Whistleblower

Discussion centered on a film one student had watched recently titled Snowden. It is the story of Edward Snowden, who at the time was a computer engineer working for the US Intelligence Agency, the CIA.
He fled from Hawaii to Hong Kong in 2013 taking all the secrets he had copied, known as classified information, and leaked them to waiting journalists.
Other famous whistleblowers in this century are Julian Assange, the Australian founder of Wikileaks and Chelsea Manning, the transgender former US soldier, who served a 7-year sentence from 2010-2017 for revealing state secrets.
Both Assange and Snowden are living in asylum outside the USA.
A website that has recently started to make an impact in the same sphere of interest is bellingcat.com. Authored by a British man with no previous experience in journalism or intelligence services, it has revealed secrets about the recent poisoning of two Russian citizens. Neither died of the attack, which hospitalized them both, but in a separate incident connected to the same substance a British woman died.

​The question posed was 'if your spouse was a spy, would you want to know about their activities?'
