Snowden Cache 'Catastrophic' for NSA, Says Former Chief Snoop

The heart bleeds

Former National Security Agency and Central Intelligence Agency Director Michael Hayden on Sunday said that reports that former NSA contractor Edward Snowden is keeping a "Doomsday Cache" of highly classified material are within reason.

"I have no reason to doubt it," Hayden said on "Fox News Sunday."

"It's the kind of thing that someone as clever as Snowden has shown himself to be would do."

If it does exist, the "Doomsday Cache" would be "catastrophic for the safety and security of the American nation," Hayden added.
