The cost to the U.S. to have him handed over by the Chicoms has just gone up.

We'll give you plans to the next generation of Predator drones, Hawaii, and a point guard to be named later...

Interesting! If he was CIA, could this be a mere inter-agency squabble? As in “get those NSA clods off our turf”???

Those FReepers are idiots. He was an employee of a private company contracted by the NSA.

So are you willing to concede he was CIA per #12?

So he once worked for the CIA but was not a CIA employee when he “leaked”.

That’s becoming a more common idea here.
I’ve been saying he’s a disenchanted leftist freak, for only going to fellow travelers to dump data.

Except for Republicans, ex-presidents are still called “Mr. President”....
Kind of a thin line to be drawn there. He only “leaked” to leftist freaks, and some freepers are declaring he’s not CIA, or never was, or somehow USED TO BE, but isn’t now....
