Yeah, but so did the hiring managers at Booz-Allen and whoever accepted his
signature on the NDA when he signed onto the NSA contract.  The trouble with
people like Snowden (as opposed to an honest whistle blower) is that he
intentionally lied at the outset.  That means that he is capable of
intentionally lying again whenever he deems it will serve his agenda.

In the same way that you can't trust a defector not to defect again, you can't
trust Snowden to tell the truth for any altruistic purposes.  He's gaming us
just like the NSA is gaming us.  I believe some of what Snowden says.  I also
believe some of what the Clapper says ... and some of what Obama says.  Etc.
And it has _nothing_ to do with that "slimy" feeling I get when I listen to them
talk.
