Having known other people who have worked for the NSA, they've had to clear any publications with them before publishing (eg, academic papers in a field related to their work, resumes describing work done at the NSA, etc).
My understanding is they're enforcable for the rest of your life.
I'd expect to see this if anybody published a book without clearance. It's only newsworthy because it's Snowden.
- sarcasmatwork 7y agoThis all makes sense to me. I share your same expectations. Now, I'd also expect Snowden to make sure he is not breaching those NDA's. Afaik, he is not one to make these types of mistakes. Looking forward to his response.

- kelnos 7y agoIt doesn't matter how careful he pays attention to his NDAs. He's required to get approval before he publishes. No approval, no publication. Publish anyway, and you're in breach of contract, even if the content would have been approved in the fist place.
