I find it hard to figure out if I&#x27;m only finding the answer I&#x27;m looking for.<p>Apply 5 whys to &quot;Why did Snowden leak classified information?&quot;<p>I can think of multiple directions it can go: &quot;he&#x27;s a traitor who managed to get around security policies&quot;, &quot;the US spies too much&quot;, and &quot;contractors aren&#x27;t covered under internal whistleblower protections so leaking was the most likely way to get things to change.&quot;
