Whistle-blower is the term.

Whistle-blower is the term.

This has nothing to do with American privacy or rights.

Unrestricted snooping in on citizens is ok?

And it has everything to do with everyone else's rights.

Pakistan must lodge diplomatic protest against this cyber crime.

All kind of industrial and govt espionage by British and Americans must be condemned!

If China does even 1 millionth of what they are doing to other countries, they cry like a little baby and see what they themselves are doing!
