I understand that you think it is more complicated than that, but I don't think it is.

Do you remember what happened with Chelsea Manning? Because that is what the GP is referring to. When you get put in military prison, they basically get to do whatever they want to you.

But Manning was in the military when he got access to the stuff he leaked.

What are you trying to say? That Snowden wouldn't end in Fort Leavenworth? You are correct. Snowden would end up in ADX Florence.

I'm not sure how that is an improvement.

The point was that Snowden wouldn't be judged by military standards, which is what allowed them to do what they did to Manning.
