The NSA Still Has No Clue About What Snowden Took, Months After the Leaks

---


According to NBC News citing intelligence sources, the NSA is still trying to figure out what files were copied and what the journalists have.

That's because the NSA had poor internal policies, both with regard to security, which is why Snowden as a system administrator was able to access pretty much everything that the NSA had, and to audit, which is why it's still trying to find out what happened.

That a government agency is insecure, inefficient and incompetent is hardly news, but, again, this is the same agency that is asking us to trust that they know what they are doing.

It also hardly surprising that the NSA would lie about it and then lie about lying. That's the modus operandi at the NSA these days. Last month, NSA Director Keith Alexander answered "yes" to both "Do you feel you now know what [Snowden] got?" and "Was it a lot?"
