This document appears to be Page 118 (Chapter Fifteen) of a book or report titled 'Did Snowden Act Alone?', stamped with a House Oversight footer. The text discusses the blurred lines between whistleblowers and spies, citing historical examples such as Donald Maclean, Bradley Birkenfeld, and Daniel Ellsberg. It argues that neither financial compensation nor acting alone are definitive distinctions between the two categories, noting that whistleblowers often have accomplices or receive bounties.

The text discusses the blurred lines between whistle-blowers and spies, citing historical examples such as Daniel Ellsberg and the Pentagon Papers, the 1971 FBI office burglary in Media, PA, and Philip Agee's defection to the KGB. It concludes by introducing the Edward Snowden case.
