My thoughts at the time.
On a slightly different line, if the NSA has become so bloated and lax since the
cold war days that such information is not strictly compartmentalised then the
competing intelligence agencies would be well aware of this information. The
problem for them now is that the NSA knows that they know so they cannot use
these channels to feed US intelligence selected information.

Ah, there are the high muckety-mucks who wear suits and draw big paychecks and
authorize themselves access to everything, and then there are the peons who
actually know which end of a USB stick to insert in the slot ... who have to
have access to everything in order to do the actual work and print those
exhaustive reports for the high muckety-mucks to carry to meetings.
Snowden was a sysadmin. Think BOFH if you like. THAT part of his story is not
just believable--in fact, any alternative would be unbelievable.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

I've seen this posted elsewhere, but here is wikipedia.
Sn
owden was with Booz Allen for only 3 months, but he had done
Top Secret work for
the NSA since 2009. Before that, he did
computer security for the CIA. He is
an NSA trained cracker,
he already knew the NSA systems and security, and he
knew what
he was looking for from his previous jobs with them. He then
spent 3
months gathering data to leak.
In some ways, it reminds me of Hans Mayer.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]
