It's an indicator that I think he purposefully sought the BAH job just so that
he could gain access to evidence of PRISM, and just so that he could then quit
the job and leak the evidence.  I use the term merely for emphasis, to make an
assertion that he intended to find and leak this data all along.  I assert he
never had any intention of fulfilling any duty to BAH or its contractors.

I couldn't use "purposeless".  Nobody I've ever known is ever purposeless.  But
most people are driven by a dynamic complex of competing agendas, including the
kinds of conflict Steve asks about in his honor/oath question.  Snowden, like
O'Keefe, _seems_ to me to be absent any interesting complex of agendas.  I will
be happy if/when I learn of his other agendas.
