Legislators 'Disturbed and Angered' After 'Very Highly Classified' Briefing on Snowden Leaks

Rep. Mac Thornberry (R-Texas) says what the NSA whistle-blower engaged in espionage

Leading members of the House Armed Services Committee emerged from a classified briefing on the Edward Snowden leaks this afternoon "shocked" at the amount of information he reportedly leaked beyond the NSA surveillance programs.

Rep. Mac Thornberry (R-Texas), chairman of the Armed Service panel's Intelligence, Emerging Threats and Capabilities Subcommittee and also a member of the House Intelligence Committee, said the briefing on the defense consequences of Snowden's leaks was "very highly classified," and therefore details couldn't be discussed.

Won't somebody PLEASE think of the House Armed Services Committee?!?

It's time for another round of smear Snowden. When all they have is lies and innuendo they use them.

I like to stop reading after I've found something I agree with. On this one I stopped after the first two words in the title.

Agreed.
