I'm surprised the NSA/government agencies trust people like him and Manning with the nation's secrets. Based on what I've read he doesn't sound like the most rigorous individual. And Bradley Manning, childhood trauma and seriously questionable life decisions. Isn't this what the purpose of a security clearance is?

If you're going to make perjorative comments like this you should at least provide references/links to what it is you've read and heard that support your view.

It wasn't intended to be pejorative I honestly want to know how these people passed whatever tests are required to maintain the United States secrets.
