Yeah, but so did the hiring managers at Booz-Allen and whoever accepted his signature on the NDA when he signed onto the NSA contract. The trouble with people like Snowden (as opposed to an honest whistle blower) is that he intentionally lied at the outset. That means that he is capable of intentionally lying again whenever he deems it will serve his agenda. In the same way that you can't trust a defector not to defect again, you can't trust Snowden to tell the truth for any altruistic purposes. He's gaming us just like the NSA is gaming us. I believe some of what Snowden says. I also believe some of what the Clapper says ... and some of what Obama says. Etc. And it has _nothing_ to do with that "slimy" feeling I get when I listen to them talk. -- ⇒⇐ glen e. p. ropella Pushin up and pushin down against the sky ============================================================ FRIAM Applied Complexity Group listserv Meets Fridays 9a-11:30 at cafe at St. John's College to unsubscribe http://redfish.com/mailman/listinfo/friam_redfish.com
