I agree. It all comes off as super-defensive, 'you guys just wouldn't understand' rhetoric. Not to mention all the insider backslapping. And the consistent claims that Snowden defected to China is clearly taking the situation out of context. Terrible PR for their side of the argument, at least, but fascinating (if not terrifying) insight into a bit of the minds behind the curtains at the NSA.

  Character assassination. They are going to try and rip Snowden apart. I don't think they'll succeed though.
