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: Una de les coses que passen és que el coratge  respecte a aquest tema es contagia, i encara que jo i els altres periodistes amb els que estava treballant estàvem al corrent del risc — Estats Units continua sent el país més poderós del món i no els agrada quan desveles milers dels seus secrets a internet per a tothom — veure algú que té 29 anys i és una persona corrent que va créixer en un entorn molt corrent fer ús de tal coratge exemplar al qual l'Edward Snowden es va arriscar, sabent que aniria a la presó  la resta de la seva vida o que li destrossarien la vida, em va inspirar a mi i a altres periodistes i va inspirar a d'altres  d'arreu del món, incloent-t'hi a futurs delators, per entendre que també poden mostrar aquest tipus de comportament.
