Assange is different from the other two.
Agree with what Snowden and Manning did on whatever level you like but their actions aren’t the same unfortunately.
Of the 3 Snowden is feasible.
Assange is by a large margin less altruistic than the other two - all three have paid a steep penalty for their actions, though.
Assange only published leaks. He didn't steal any material himself.
