Right, the point I'm making is how do you "know" that is true vs propaganda? In reality it's probably a mix of the two. It's important to recognize that although there is a binary distinction between "employees who have leaked" and "employees who have not", there is a much fuzzier distribution of the trait "propensity to leak" across all CIA/NSA employees. Some people leak for personal gain (bribe/gambling debt/etc); some people leak for ideological reasons (convinced of the inevitable triumph of Communism/hatred of USA); some people leak because of their conscience (whistleblowers) The goal of an anti-US entity would be to nudge someone who is on the border / considering leaking into actually going through with it.
