You know I keep hearing this myth. As if a real employee/agent could never leak information. TS/SCI clearance is the same for everyone. Cleared is cleared.

- amitparikh 13y agoNo it's not. All classified material is provided on a "Need to Know" basis. You can't just have a clearance and get access to every classified document out there, that's ridiculous.
- ianstallings 13y agoYes I'm aware of that. I never said that one would gain access to all information simply because they have a clearance..
- frankydp 13y agoJust to expounded. Once you get passed Secret almost everything is compartmentalized. To speak to the Snowden leaks, in there entirety they now are clearly, far outside the scope of any single user, unless that user was a multi-department head or higher. It is more likely that the leaks are from multiple users now. The story posted yesterday about the access level of the information lends this theory some credibility, although none to the means of access.
