290 | HOW AMERICA LOST ITS SECRETS
tions intelligence secrets to a foreign power with an agenda that is
hardly aligned with his country's interests. A defector is defined in
the Cambridge English Dictionary as "a person who leaves his or her
own country or group to join an opposing one." Snowden's actions
fit that description. In the end, it is Snowden's actions, not his words,
that matter.
