Edward Snowden: spies sharing racy pics all over the office!

[marylander1940]

Hi, I'm sure it's been talked about on here before but now it's out there. The former National Security Agency contractor Edward J. Snowden said in a wide-ranging interview published on Sunday that the oversight of surveillance programs was so weak that members of the United States military working at the spy agency sometimes shared sexually explicit photos they intercepted.

 

He also said the British government often pioneered the most invasive surveillance programs because its intelligence services operate with fewer restrictions intended to protect individual privacy than its counterparts in the United States and other allies.

I'm curious, at this point, do you think Snowden can be believed? And what percentage of what he says is self serving? My take is that he certainly is someone that should be listened to, regardless of how people feel about him.

I have mixed feelings about him and I'm sure we'll have to wait and see if he's judged similar to the release of the Pentagon papers or like another traitor. We must acknowledge he did uncover massive spying in the US that was suspected by many of us.
