The (Spy) Game's Afoot In Hunt For NSA Leaker Snowden
Rowan Scarborough at the Washington Times offers a piece on the irony of how NSA Leaker Edward Snowden is possibely being hunted by the NSA.
One twist in the fugitive hunt for asylum-seeking Edward Snowden is that the man who has revealed the most secrets about the National Security Agency in history now is undoubtedly one of its chief targets.
A subplot in this international thriller is a cat-and-mouse game: Will the NSA penetrate his communications or will the master leaker outwit all the agency's high-tech gadgets — since he, as well as anyone, knows how they work?
“NSA is probably doing what it does best, which is sweeping the ‘electronicshere’ for communications, voice and data, indicating his next chess move,” former CIA officer Bart Bechtel says. “They may also be looking at known and suspected collaborators.”
A second analyst, a former intelligence operative, says that the same methods Mr. Snowden, an ex-NSA contractor, disclosed in documents leaks to the press are now being turned on him.
