Comment on Snowden Does Not Deserve the Threat He Faces

Comments

OT - It would be nice to add what section of the paper this comes from to the HN title, in this case Opinion. People see the headline and the website and may assume that this is a New York Times article approved by the NYT Editors.

It's an op-ed from an editor at the paper responsible for breaking Snowden's story (The Guardian), and it's sitting on the front page of NYT as we speak – what more do you want?

All of that is learned after clicking through to the article - I'm talking about how it is presented on HN only.

It's ironic to me that they make their op-ed pieces subject to their paywall. You'd think they'd want their opinion pieces shared as widely as possible.

The headline offers an opinion, which journalistic articles do not, but editorials do.
