And my friends would be amused by your friends. I know a few DoD-type guys who operate in these informal government contractor circles. I have seen some wild stuff involving private companies, NASA and intel agencies. Lot of these CIA things are being outsourced to contractors. Similar to the private intel network of Sid Blumenthal providing info to Hillary Clinton, from an easily hacked AOL email no less.

The power and influence, along with whims of eccentric players, in these contractor groups is really getting out of hand.

And we all want attention in some way, including you for posting your comments and me for mine. It could be both a noble thing Snowden did and something he wants some recognition for doing. Basing your analysis on whatever he did in high school is quite silly. Most everybody was looking for some attention then and likely going about it the wrong way.
