It's becoming apparent that describing Snowden's role at the NSA as a "regular/vanilla" analyst, or system administrator (media/government narrative) is an imprecise understatement. There was a NYT story a coup

Does the fact that they're contractors and not employees absolve the contractee of some/any liability/culpability? Perhaps, further, even recursively as the contractors themselves wouldn't be able to discuss the contract

You should have just jumped on IRC prior to panicking--you would have gotten an update instantaneously. Or better yet, you could idle a detached screen in there. When I had a Linode a few months back, there were constantly 500 rather help
