    People in the military who commit morally questionable acts in our name should have to worry that we will find out about it, and soon enough that that it will do them harm.

I agree with that. But at the same time there's a difference between, say, fellow soldiers turning in someone who murdered some people outside of combat or raped a bunch of people. It's another to just send someone gigs and gigs of data they themselves haven't gone through.

This guys only job in the military was to keep this data safe, and he exposed it all without even going through it himself.
