Glenn Greenwald: US better back off trying to stop Edward Snowden or else
Story
Glenn Greenwald, the Guardian reporter who first published the Top Secret documents Edward Snowden took while working for the NSA, recently revealed that Snowden has extremely damaging classified information spread out around the world as "insurance" against the US government. Basically, they are hinting that if Uncle Sam tries to assassinate Mr. Snowden the information will be released.
The problem is he didn't explicitly state that the US has to be the one to kill him. With that in mind, al Qaeda, North Korea, or anybody else who is hostile to the US may try to kill him so that the information gets released. Outside of our borders there isn't much we can do to protect him and in a Latin American country you can't be sure whether or not a terror cell may take him out.
Was this a good idea to keep the government from going all out to get him? Or did he just sign his own death warrant, with the possibility terrorists may try to kill him for that info?

I still don't get why he's a dead man. He shone a light on some cockroach tactics and they all freaked out a little, but there's no egg on anyone's face and the Congress reacted with a big ho-hum to the contents of his revelations.
