It's unfortunate what happened to her. Snowden is also stuck in Russia because The Intercept was extremely careless with their sources. As one that leaked something once that was big, that I will not talk about here, one thing I learned is that it doesn't matter what the political leanings of the outlet are, one as a leaker needs to protect themselves. She didn't seem to know what the material she created was traceable straight to her and the intercept went and showed it to feds. Sigh.
