So, who are these people that are handling Edward Snowden?

114. Booz-Allen does NOT have access to personal data.

As evidenced by Snowden's failure to obtain any.

I see your point about the metadata. I myself have no problem whatsoever with the NSA retaining a copy of what the telecoms already keep. It makes it much simpler to look through the data when they have a warrant.

And if you don't think government can monitor the NSA and you don't think any other company can do so, what can be done? Close down the NSA? Then why not the CIA and FBI too? They all operate under a certain degree of secrecy.

Carl Bernstein said it looked to him as if the NSA has strong safeguards and restrictions in place. At some point, we have to stop worrying about what the NSA could be doing and perhaps review those safeguards to understand how well -or poorly- they operate.

But who is qualified to do that?
