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.
