Booz Allen added Snowden's salary in the revised press release announcing his firing. Strange. Here's the text of the current version of the press release dated 6/11:
Booz Allen can confirm that Edward Snowden, 29, was an employee of our firm for less than 3 months, assigned to a team in Hawaii. Snowden, who had a salary at the rate of $122,000, was terminated June 10, 2013 for violations of the firm’s code of ethics and firm policy. News reports that this individual has claimed to have leaked classified information are shocking, and if accurate, this action represents a grave violation of the code of conduct and core values of our firm. We will work closely with our clients and authorities in their investigation of this matter.

- gohrt 13y agoIt maybe a simple matter of releasing details that everyone is clamoring for and yelling about. BAH's main interest in this matter is diverting blame for the leak away from their organization. They are not really interested in Snowden. They'd rather he be ignored than attacked.
- pfortuny 13y ago"This individual", notice the hideous language "we do not want to have anything to do with this... OK not going to insult him just depersonalize him". Might as well have said "this object". Not even Mr. or jus "he."
