That information needs to be released because the powers that be in American government and the military-industrial complex are getting away with murder, quite literally. They're committing crimes that the constitution was originally formulated to prevent.
They've taken the roles of "private citizen" and "public servant" and reversed the meanings so that we can find out all about what a "private" citizen gets up to, but we have /no/ idea what "public servants" are doing.
They lie, they misdirect, they steal, they kill, start wars, violate international law, and they make us wonder if Ed Snowden should be tried as a "traitor", and good folks such as yourself to wonder why we're all so excited about this.
The bottom line is that they are trying every single thing they can (most of which I expect we don't know about) to hide this, to distract us all from their crimes, and to shift blame onto a twenty something instead of with the people who ordered the crimes in the first place.
"Run, Forrest! Run away! Hurry!"
The main reason that I know this is wrong in moral terms? The fact that I'm worried about expressing my opinion because it differs from that of the criminals in Washington.
Shame on them for doing it, but *triple* shame on us for letting them do it.
