Here’s what Snowden took with him.....
231 offensive American cyber operations in 2011, including some against Iran and North Korea relating to nuclear proliferation.
NSA surveillance of terrorist networks, including details of what the U.S. knows about al Qaeda’s efforts to jam, hack, and shoot down American drones
The location of 80 NSA surveillance teams around the world. Most of you who worked abroad know where some of these used to be.
Intelligence cooperation between the U.S., U.K., Canada, Australia and New Zealand. A Swedish intelligence operation targeting Russian leaders, which passed on information to the NSA
NSA monitoring of Chinese telecom company Huawei to investigate ties to the Chinese military.
NSA interception of Taliban emails and phone calls in Pakistan. A CIA operation to determine the loyalties of recruits in Pakistan and the CIA’s line-item “black budget”
The 215 and 702 programs . Perhaps you believe Snowden’s disclosure of spying on American citizens makes him a hero. But that doesn’t erase everything else he did which damaged our capabilities in HUMINT and SIGINT.
