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.
Glenn Greenwald: Creo que una de las cosas que suceden es que el valor de las personas en este sentido se contagia, y así aunque yo y los otros periodistas con los que estaba trabajando eran ciertamente conscientes del riesgo — EE. UU. sigue siendo el país más poderoso del mundo y no agradece cuando divulgas miles de sus secretos en Internet a libre voluntad — viendo a alguien normal y corriente de 29 años, criado en un ambiente muy normal ejercer el grado de coraje que Edward Snowden arriesgó, sabiendo que iría a prisión por el resto de su vida o lo que la vida le iba a deparar, me inspiró y ha inspirado a otros periodistas e inspirado, creo, a la gente en todo el mundo, incluyendo los denunciantes futuros, para darse cuenta de que pueden participar en ese tipo de comportamiento.
