If NSA leaker Reality Winner had been born in, say, 1940 instead of the late 1990s, how would she have acted out against America then? Would she have gotten hired as a secretary in a government office (given the times) and burrowed into secret documents after work, duplicating them and handing them off to one of the always-waiting Soviet agents working Washington? Would she have been one of the many unindicted co-conspirators who set up a safe house for murdering psychopaths like Bill Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn as they stockpiled explosives to kill police and soldiers and anyone else unlucky enough to be in their path? Would she have joined a cult and ended up on the evening news with a swastika carved into her forehead, chanting about her love for Charlie Manson after trying to kill the president? Leaking classified information is terrorism for the current age, and like other modes of terrorism, it has a fashion and a lifestyle. In 1968, the fashion was dashikis and afros or leather miniskirts and manifestos – think Angela Davis or Bernardine Dohrn, depending on one’s skin color. Today, the fashion is pale-skinned androgyny to full-blown transgender, Asperger-scale, computer nerd.
