Contractor fires Snowden from $122,000-a-year job

3. If you want your views to prevail, don't be cute or coy: provide accurate facts and clear analysis

Mr Snowden may not be the ideal poster boy for you, if you want to organize against the dangers of the national security state, because his story lacks credibility in many ways

For example, community college records show him last enrolled in community college courses in 2005, but he never obtained any degree or certification -- yet he has claimed that by 2007 he was posted by the CIA under diplomatic cover in Geneva

Similarly, he has claimed a $200K salary at BAH, but BAH says his salary was only a bit over half that

Such details might suggest he is not terribly careful about providing facts accurately and so might call into question other claims of his, such as his claim that "... Sitting at my desk I .. had the authority to wiretap anyone ... even the president ..."
