Snowden Has NSA 'Blueprint,' Says 'Guardian' Journalist

Glenn Greenwald, the Guardian journalist who was the first to report on classified documents leaked by Edward Snowden, says the former National Security Agency contractor has what amounts to an "instruction manual for how the NSA is built."


Greenwald made the comments in a Sunday interview with The Associated Press.


Greenwald told the AP that if Snowden were to release those documents, they would "allow somebody who read them to know exactly how the NSA does what it does, which would in turn allow them to evade that surveillance or replicate it."


He added: "In order to take documents with him that proved that what he was saying was true, he had to take ones that included very sensitive, detailed blueprints of how the NSA does what they do."


In an earlier interview with Argentina's La Nacion, Greenwald said that Snowden could cause immense damage to the United States with some of the documents but "that's not his goal."


Snowden is still stranded in Moscow, with the U.S. working hard to extradite him. As Mark reported Friday, Snowden said he was seeking temporary asylum in Russia. Bolivia, Nicaragua and Venezuela have all offered Snowden asylum.

If he has this information with him (on a laptop?) I can't imagine the Russians wouldn't do whatever they had to do to get at it. Initially I thought when nobody had seen Snowden in the Moscow airport in a long time that the Russians were probably "debriefing" him. If they haven't already, what's holding them back?

Snowden would have to be pretty dumb not to have some pretty hefty full disk encryption on all of his machines. Being as public as he has been means that rubber hose interrogation is probably not as appealing an option as it otherwise would be. I wouldn't be surprised if several governments, (the Chinese/Russians) didn't have copies of the data, but likely they are fairly well encrypted.

It seems likely to me that he's uploaded all the data elsewhere already, and possibly wiped/destroyed the data on his laptop hard drives. He may also have set up some kind of insurance where one party has the encrypted data and the another has the key.

Frankly, I've grown tired of Snowden, Greenwald, and the Guardian. International air space, travel documents, and information routes are symptoms of other larger, global, new world, high tech conflicts between nations and people. Snowden has become a metaphorical character, similar to Julian Assange.

I can think of a couple different ways he could have made sure the data was secure - without knowing the key himself - to prevent exactly that kind of scenario.

Sooo, the US are so law-abiding and trusted that they have to promise not to torture Snowden should they get hold of him.

It's a pretty good indicator of what the legal system of the US looks like that they have to make this promise in the first place.

Not that this promise is worth anything, what with the sketchy definition inside the US as to what torture actually is and the promise being made by Eric Holder who has lied under oath before - several times...

Um, it's a way for Russia to save face. :bored:

Which in no way detracts from Khen's statement. :|

778. Edward Snowden is a false flag (7/5/2013)

My conclusion based on thefollowing facts.

1. Time line. It’s the development of the recent events, allrelated to the core plot- elimination of Kat Sung.

(1) The final stage ofBoston bombing. It is marked by the killing of Toadshev in late May and theretirement announcement of the Boston FBI Chief in early June.

(2) On 6/7, an unusualprivate meeting between Obama and Xi (Chinese President) was arranged suddenlyin California. Payment of the secretdeal apparantly was an issue.

(3) On 6/14, “Former USNational Security Agency (NSA) contractor Edward Snowden revealed to HongKong’s English-language newspaper, the South China Morning Post, on Wednesdaythat Washington has hacked into hundreds of civilian targets in Hong Kong andmainland China.” http://www.wsws.org/en/articles/2013/06/14/hong-j14.html

2. Obviously, Snowden’s revelation is the result of that privatesummit. It is part of payment of a secret deal between the secret police of USand China.

US recently “has repeatedlyaccused Beijing of perpetrating cyber-warfare, while China has continuouslydenied the accusations.

The latest round in thisblame game saw the US Defense Science Board publish a report saying that nearly40 Pentagon weapons programs and almost 30 other defense technologies werecompromised by Chinese hackers, some allegedly tied to the military orgovernment. (http://rt.com/news/obama-xi-cyber-hacking-356/)

It’s not a coincidence thatSnowden chose Hong Kong as the place for his revelation. That’s a payment toChina. His revelation largely releases the pressure on China.

3. It is a payment to Chinese secret police for theircollaboration in Boston bombing. In which they confirmed one of the death was aChinese student. They also joined a carjacking set up to trap Tsarnaevbrothers. (mysterious Danny). Also for a big operation to create a bird fluwhich estimated 6.5 billion in cost.(see “774. China and bird flu (6/5/2013)”)

1. No information important has Snowden leaked to public because his job is just to release the “cyber spying” pressure from China. What he said is to prove US does same thing that China does. Government spying on people and foreign countries. That’s common sense. Americans know echelon, Patriot Act since 911. Civil rights has been damaged already. So what for Prism.

1. News said Snowden is helped by Wikeleaks in his travel plan and finance. It proves true what I alleged two years ago that Assange was a false flag. The master played behind them is the same organization. (see “655. Bin Laden and Julian Assange, False flag and living plant (12/7/2010)”)
