1 Maybe I am wrong but seems the protect Obama incompetence spin begins. Can't blame Bush now can we? The NSA is supposed to be an INTERNAL security agency (Not a CIA Web have a CIA) I thought or do we know what is going on anymore? Snowden was not affiliated with the CIA, right?

By the way, if you want to call your neighbor without the the NSA evesdropping on your call from DC or Utah, use an old fashioned CB radio.

2 Tbe purpose of 'multi-source' intelligence is to prevent the reliance upon a single intelligence discipline which can be compromised, be incorrect, or for some reason go tits up. Multi-source products are used to cross-validate or confirm events, data, and information which can then become legitimate and or potentially actionable intelligence. Suggesting that one rogue NSA employee was responsible for a single-source intelligence gap that led to the invasion of a country is absolute rubbish.

5 So how did Putin assemble his Speztnaz groups for the Crimean invasion?
Does any body remember the Sochi Olympics? They provided security, and it's only ~150 miles away.
Some of these explanations are borderline whining.

6 I call B.S. on this whole story.

I also believe that if you're lying, you've got something to hide.
