Pete Weber at The Week has very serious questions about Snowden’s story. Here are the toplines with full writeups for each here.
1. Snowden overstated his salary… by a lot
2. He reportedly left his home on May 1
3. Snowden didn’t have ‘authority’ to wiretap anybody
4. He might not have had the ability to do so, either
5. Snowden’s résumé is fishy
The more I hear, the more I’m leaning towards the “hacker Ron Paul acolyte” conclusion about this guy.
