> Don't put words in my mouth. ... nowhere am I suggesting he martyr himself.

I'm not tryin to put words in your mouth. Perhaps think more about the ideas that the words coming out of your mouth convey? You said "If you claim whistle-blowing is justified by the exposed crimes and then run".

Sounds like you think he ought not to have run. Even though the president literally discussed applying the death penalty to him. That's why I thought you were suggesting he ought to have martyred himself.

> For as much time as he spent on the immediate escape, it seems like he spent none on, "...and then what?"

Jesus christ, you described yourself as unsympathetic, and I guess I can't disagree. But "aspiring man of international mystery"? Don't put words in his mouth. If the things he says about his motivations are true, your mischaracterization is grossly offensive.
