I wasn't referring to Snowden. I was saying that for every Snowden there is one or more greedy analysts that will just sell info quietly and we'll never know.

I wasn't referring to Snowden. I was saying that for every Snowden there is one or more greedy analysts that will just sell info quietly and we'll never know. That's also why the idea that Snowden has caused a huge amount of damage because he alerted enemies to the US's methods is comical. The public releases have been heavily edited and the NSA knows exactly what data has been shared with the general public. If someone else has grabbed the same info as Snowden but just sold it quietly the adversaries got much more info and the NSA doesn't know it so they can't mitigate the impact.
