english: Glenn Greenwald: You know, I think one of the things that happens is that people's courage in this regard gets contagious, and so although I and the other journalists with whom I was working were certainly aware of the risk — the United States continues to be the most powerful country in the world and doesn't appreciate it when you disclose thousands of their secrets on the Internet at will — seeing somebody who is a 29-year-old ordinary person who grew up in a very ordinary environment exercise the degree of principled courage that Edward Snowden risked, knowing that he was going to go to prison for the rest of his life or that his life would unravel, inspired me and inspired other journalists and inspired, I think, people around the world, including future whistleblowers, to realize that they can engage in that kind of behavior as well.
non_english: Ena od stvari, ki mislim, da se zgodijo v taki situaciji, je pogum, ki postane nalezljiv. Čeprav smo se vsi novinarji zavedali nevarnosti — ZDA ostaja najmočnejša država na svetu in nerada vidi, da razkriješ na tisoče njenih skrivnosti na inetrnetu, kadar hočeš — videti običajnega 29-letnika, ki je odraščal v zelo običajnem okolju, s tolikšno stopnjo načelnega poguma, kot jo premogel Snowden, vedoč, da bo zaprt do konca življenja ali da se mu bo življenje sesulo, je navdihnilo mene in ostale novinarje, mislim pa, da tudi ljudi po svetu, vključno z bodočimi žvižgači, da spoznajo, da lahko tudi sami počnejo take stvari.
