"But most people are driven by a dynamic complex of competing agendas, including the kinds of conflict Steve asks about in his honor/oath question. Snowden, like O'Keefe, _seems_ to me to be absent any interesting complex of agendas."
A contrary view is that only young people have a clear enough view of things to act this way. Old timers like me rationalize their fears, inhibitions, constraints, and coping strategies as a proxy for wisdom. Worse, we may point to the collective wisdom as better than an informed individual's analysis. Same thing as authoritarianism.
