None of their infrastructure would be getting forced exposure from their own employees if they had not gone down this path?
Careful! Note that Snowden was not an analyst. He didn't actually have access to the programs he has leaked information on. They weren't part of his job. (Similarly with Manning, as it happens.) The people that have first-hand knowledge, and those that are actually involved in the work, aren't the ones leaking.
- ChuckMcM 13y agoI realize he wasn't an analyst. But his motivation for leaking the information that he did, was (granted according to his own testimony) because the agency was violating the civil rights of people it was supposed to be protecting. I have watched large organizations attempt to re-cast the narrative about a series of events as being 'caused' by a rogue employee, without acknowledging the motivations of that employee.
