Secretary of State John Kerry responded to a recent televised interview of Edward Snowden, by attacking Snowden's moral character. It was nice to see a public official acknowledge the depth and complexity of moral decision-making in their criticism rather than using simplified moral concepts such as "evil" or "wrong". In this case, Kerry explicitly called into question Snowden's honesty, loyalty, sense of justice, and bravery. The last one hit a nerve in some quarters due to his calling on Snowden to "man up", but terminology is not what concerned me. I am more concerned with the accuracy of his analysis... or should I say the extent of his analysis?
