13. There is ALWAYS reason for concern with these kinds of programs.

Never stop watching the watchers. But it comes with a caveat. The discussion cannot endanger people in the field. Ever. They put their lives on the line for us ever single day.

Snowden crossed that line. Unless you think Snowden was lying when he said he has the names of CIA operatives and Station Chiefs and locations all over the world. And if he was lying about that what else was he lying about that he said? Are the documents even real? Are they fake or edited? Since he can apparently operate the system all by himself, according to him, he can generate whatever he pleases. Unless he's lying about being able to shut the whole thing down all by himself, of course. If he can shut it down, he can operate it. Unless he's lying...

Ever wonder why nobody wants him? Ed Snowden, a man of unquestioned character and unsurpassed expertise? Yeah, sarcasm. But think about that question. Either his character, expertise, or both, are just a tad tarnished. Since they know what he does (or claims to have done) to the country he "loves."
