Inside The Mind Of Edward Snowden
2014-05-28
[NBC] "I was trained as a spy in sort of the traditional sense of the word, in that I lived and worked undercover overseas -- pretending to work in a job that I'm not -- and even being assigned a name that was not mine," Snowden said in the interview.

Snowden defended his expertise in portions of the interview that aired at 6:30 p.m. ET on Nightly News. The extended, wide-ranging interview with Williams, his first with a U.S. television network, airs Wednesday at 10 p.m. ET on NBC.

#9  "Snowden got a bunch of military secrets...What was the military doing putting military secrets on NSA servers?"

It's the NSA we're dealing with. What makes you think the military "put" them there?

#8  Glenn Greenwald. We watched a "monks debate" from Toronto where Greenwald and Ohanian (reddit) were opposing Dershowitz and Hayden. Greenwald mopped the floor with Hayden. Supposedly Greenwald is releasing a list of names of those 'sampled' b y the NSA. I hope he takes a lesson from Vince Foster. Aside, Gen Dempsey says that Snowden got a bunch of military secrets...What was the military doing putting military secrets on NSA servers?

And that is different from the storyline given out at a thousand bars in hundreds of urban areas on Friday and Saturday night, how? Yeah, babe, I'm Tom, that's it, Tom and I work as a mortgage banker.

#1  The problem now is, there are people who'll believe anything he says. Just because someone has inside info doesn't mean they're immune to lying, or that they understand what they think they know about.
