| NSA: Snowden Leaks Caused Loss of 1,000 Targets, Including Terrorists |
| 2016-03-18 |
| [Breitbart] In an interview with National Public Radio, the deputy director of the National Security Agency Richard Ledgett claimed the NSA has lost track of about 1,000 intelligence targets since 2013 because of NSA leak Edward Snowden's revelations, including a terrorist group that was planning attacks against the United States and Europe. The good news, in the deputy director's estimation, is that much of the information disclosed by Snowden is becoming obsolete. "The amount that matters from a technical capabilities sense has decreased over time," he told NPR. Good news? "Technical capabilities" to include communications intercepts from non-secure Blackberries as well, but at this point....'what difference does it make?' |

| #6 Gosh, if the NSA hadn't spied on Americans none of this would have happened. Traitorous assholes. That's the word coming out of the Modern Warsaw Pact, I guess. Talk about the NSA's abuses while he's revealing details of spying on places like Indonesia, which has committed ethnic cleansing in the last twenty years. |

| #5 It's only a loss if you're willing to do something about it in the first place. |

| #3 How many of those "losses" were due to the targets being scared into hiding by the fact that the NSA was on to them? Ditto #2. |

| #1 What an amazing coincidence. The alleged 'targeting loss' due to intelligence leaks appears to have begun in 2013, the same year that Clinton departed her job as Secretary of State. Thank you Director Ledgett and NPR. |
