In reply to the discussion: Snowden: NSA employees routinely pass around intercepted nude photos [View all]riderinthestorm
(23,272 posts)The documents that support Snowden's statements reside with Poitras, Greenwald, the NYT, the Guardian, Der Spiegel etc. We know that for a fact. Either they support Snowden's statements or they don't. Since they're being published, it seems logical to presume they do indeed support Snowden and that he's not lying.
Its not as though one single person is a gatekeeper/factchecker on this stuff. Its being vetted by a boatload of the top journos/papers in the world.
You can't have it both ways - either he's making unsubstantiated claims or the supporting documents exist and Snowden gave them to the reporters/papers.
From the Pulitzer Prize committee to the UN high commissioner - virtually everyone believes Snowden and his claims (along with a whole host of other luminaries not known for being suckers). You are amongst a tiny minority of folks who don't believe him and persistently call him a liar. Well good luck with that position.
FWIW, I reiterate this part from the OP. I think its incredibly naive to believe they aren't sharing naked pictures. Its ultimate revenge porn on steroids.
In September 2013, in a letter from the NSAs Inspector General Dr. George Ellard to Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA), the agency outlined a handful of instances during which NSA agents admitted that they had spied on their former love interests. This even spawned a nickname within the agency, LOVEINTa riff on HUMINT (human intelligence) or SIGINT (signals intelligence).
