All of them faced serious retaliation for their whistleblowing even after they tried to go through official channels.

The world has understandably lost all respect for the US for taking the mafia route by prosecuting Edward Snowden. Sad, because it would be easy for the government to admit to the public secret and take the moral high ground by protecting whistleblowers like Assange and Snowden. The US is not resposible just for US citizens, but should also take into account the well being of people of the world in general. Kill the disgusting, barbaric and selfish patriotism of the less evolved (military, NSA, CIA and other government sponsored mafias of the world), protect whistleblowers who make sacrifices of themselves for the general public.
