| Snowden gives intel to Chinese newspaper |

| From The Other Perfessor: Isn't a reasonable suspicion that the NSA was already compromised ante Snowden? If the skinny 31 year old can walk in with a thumb drive and then walk out with critical documents? From TFA: National security veterans have been skeptical that Snowden could have been the sole source of everything that has been leaked to date. Many were surprised to see publication of the FISA court order in particular; one former US counterintelligence official noting that in all of its 35 year existence, there has never been a breach of the FISA court. That we know of... That document was not definitively attributed to Snowden in news reports, and Greenwald has declined to specify whether or not Snowden was the only source. To date, there has been no confirmation that any others were involved. Greenwald prolly typed the informaton himself. Another point of focus has been the fact that Snowden actually only worked at Booz Allen for a few weeks before taking an unpaid leave. When Snowden was no longer able to be located, his employer notified intelligence officials because of his high-level security clearance. FBI Director Robert Mueller told House Judiciary Committee members that Snowden is now "the subject of an ongoing criminal investigation," and intelligence officials are handling the matter as a possible case of foreign espionage. While Snowden selected Hong Kong as his place of refuge for the time being, there is tremendous concern that he might be planning to defect to China and share some of our nation's intelligence secrets. Snowden is a cat's paw. Someone else did the heavy lifting. But if it's okay to tap James Rosen's email at the AP, why aren't we tapping Glen Greenwald, the vicious hard-left commie 'columnist' for the Guardian? |

| #2 Please forgive one for asking a lowly plebian question regarding high tech -- but shouldn't all computers used at Spook Central be made without ports for thumb drives, etc.? |

| #1 The not so subtle irony; the... "ongoing investigation" of former employee Snowden involves a detailed forensic examination of his net usage. Once again, the painter's house needs painting. |
