Mornin' Monte. :2wave: Do people even pay attention to the things that Snowden has stated himself. Do you think that his behavior and his own words sets himself up?
You don't believe that BS that he thought he was trying to Improve the NSA, do you?
"I already won," Snowden said. "As soon as the journalists were able to work, everything that I had been trying to do was validated. Because, remember, I didn't want to change society. I wanted to give society a chance to determine if it should change itself."
Last week, a White House-appointed panel proposed curbs on some key NSA surveillance operations, recommending limits on a program to collect records of billions of telephone calls, and new tests before Washington spies on foreign leaders. The panel's proposals were made in the wake of Snowden's revelations.
President Barack Obama later tried to strike a middle ground, saying some checks were needed on the NSA's surveillance, but "we can't unilaterally disarm.
In the interview, Snowden denied he was trying to bring down the NSA. "I am working to improve the NSA," he said. "I am still working for the NSA right now. They are the only ones who don't realize it.".....snip~
Mission accomplished, says Snowden: Washington Post - Reuters News 12/23/2013 11:34 PM
Yes the guy who used another to get into some things, using some program to trace and copy over intel, and all that validated experience which shows he is one of the most intelligent people in the intelligence world and able to act as a cryptologist with all he never understood. But knowing it was important. :roll:.....
Do you think he could have went to the Press with the barest of Validated info and still proved his point without endangering others and affect US National Interests?
