Post #376,272 by Another Scott 6/11/13 2:12:23 PM Reply	Heh. Seriously, he seems really messed up to me (based on his actions and justifications). Why he had access to TS material/systems/whatever is beyond me. <obligatory pointer to old DRL post about narcissism> Cheers, Scott.

The less qualified he seems, the more valid that question becomes. -- Drew

There are lots and lots of seemingly underqualified people who are doing a fine job out there. He's not in trouble because he was underqualified. He is in trouble because he did a seemingly senseless series of acts some of which violated his oath and the law. (At least what has been presented thus far doesn't make much sense to me. A $20M/yr program is watching all of our electronic correspondence? Really?!? You made "around $200k" a year?!? Really?!? You could wiretap the President of the United States?!? Really?!?). It'll be interesting to see if this episode leads to any clarity on these surveillance programs and their oversight. Maybe, maybe not. http://thehill.com/h...-dead-on-arrival- Cheers, Scott.

Leaving me at sea without a compass. Surely there will be villainous pirates, distracting mermaids and tides of change in this new open water chapter of my journey. But at the moment all I can feel is alone.Â ÂAs I type this on my tear-streaked keyboard IÂm reflecting on all the faces that have graced my path. The ones I laughed with. The ones IÂve held. The one IÂve grown to love the most. And the ones I never got to bid adieu. But sometimes life doesnÂt afford proper goodbyes.Â Hmmmmm Â maybe the NSA leak isnÂt why Snowden started running. Any opinions expressed by me are mine alone, posted from my home computer, on my own time as a free American and do not reflect the opinions of any person or company that I have had professional relations with in the past 58 years. meep
