Snowden is a talented man who could develop his skills and likely has done so rather than waste his life away.
I’m amazed at such comments.
Yes, Snowden he’s a smart man, but he only knew what he knew because he was INSIDE the NSA. he knew the organizational structure, he knew the state of their technology, he knew how decisions were made and what programs existed.
Snowden left the NSA 10 years ago to go into distant exile. While he has great insight, and partially due directly to his revelations, all the details of NSA operations have changed completely.
