Obviously the point of my using it wasn't to get into a protracted debate about whether they can or can't count "files", but rather to point out how truly lucky they were that outta all the potential keys (assuming there are more than one as this whole line of BS makes the case for) that the one "stupidly" left behind is the one that allows them to make the specific case they are -- that personnel, methods and means, etc, are potentially endangered.
but do keep dodging. So far that's been the only strong suit your side has had in this "debate".
And in the final analysis, even it all that should be proven true, Snowden's guilt of such in no way alters the guilt for illegalities on the part of the NSA and the one in responsible charge of them.
Another thing I'd like to know, not that I expect an answer from any of you wouldbe braniacs, is even if the Russina or Chinese managed to get their hands on the files, where's the evidence that any keys were present or provided? Did they torture it outta him? As far as I can tell that was something that was uniquely part of "mule" process ongoing between GG and Miss P, so they'd not have access to it. Oh that's right, the "SNowden is an anti-American spy" narrative is just to tantalizing to let die, no, so you'll cling to anything that keeps it alive?
You guys are making mental/logic leaps with all the intelligence and sense of direction a mexican jumping bean possesses.
