We've discussed this in passing previously. It's pretty bad. [EDIT] Here are Snowden's replies to this report - https://www.cnet.com/au/news/snowden-dispute

We've discussed this in passing previously. It's pretty bad. [EDIT] Here are Snowden's replies to this report - https://www.cnet.com/au/news/snowden-disputes-congressional-report-on-nsa-leaks/ https://www.cnet.com/au/news/snowden-disputes-congressional-... --- https://twitter.com/Snowden/status/812043563810914307 https://twitter.com/Snowden/status/812043563810914307 "Mistakes were made:" Less than 24 hours after releasing report claiming I lied, HPSCI is walking back its report. http://www.usnews.com/news/articles/2016-12-22/in-declassified-edward-snowden-report-committee-walks-back-claims-about-intentional-lying http://www.usnews.com/news/articles/2016-12-22/in-declassifi... [/EDIT] The guy who said Snowden should have come to him is subject in this story: NSA Watchdog Removed for Whistleblower Retaliation http://www.pogo.org/blog/2016/12/intelligence-community-landmark.html http://www.pogo.org/blog/2016/12/intelligence-community-land... Some of the things where they charge him with lying or exaggerating are themselves duplicitous, at best. We discussed a lot of those things in detail back here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13158163 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13158163 In particular this claim from the report is both ridiculous and downright contemptible on multiple levels: "He claimed to have left A-y basic training because of broken legs when in fact he washed out because of shin splints."
