It's pretty despicable to profit from printing the information and then argue that the person who provided it shouldn't have done so. Surely if you think Snowden should be prosecuted for providing you with the information you should equally be prosecuted from printing illegally obtained information that you don't think was in the public interest. And to make matters worse that information (specifically PRISM which they call out) is still being published by WaPo [1]. Talk about hypocrisy.

It could be honest, but only if they recommend themselves for prosecution as well. Somehow I don't think they'll be doing that.
