(10,479 posts)afraid to add to it. First, I am not defending NSA. Surely something could have been done better. But, this guy Snowden, if that is his actual name, sounds very much someone who wants to be a big man on campus. He has little education, he didn't last long in the military service, his employer was not the NSA. His employer's name sounds more like a whiskey maker/exporter than anything else. He spills the beans, flies off to China of all places, has an interview about what he has done and says he knows he will never go back to the U.S. I understand he may be trying to seek asylum in Iceland or maybe it's Finland. Anyone else who did what he did would quietly leave town, telling no one where he was going and when he got there hide out. I have no idea if this was all his idea or whether someone paid him to do it. I just know that I have an uneasy feeling about him. But I do know one thing--if this NSA business is to continue they have a better hiring system.
