who currently has access? and what are they doing with the information? hard to believe snowden is just sitting on the entire cache or using it as a bargaining chip not to get iced
The cache contains documents with names of US and allied intelligence personnel, seven current and former US officials and other sources told Reuters.
The collection is shielded by elaborate encryption that requires multiple passwords to open, said two of the sources, who all spoke to Reuters anonymously.
At least three people – unknown to the sources – possess the passwords, which are only valid for a short period each day, they said.
US officials and other sources say only a small portion of classified material they believe Snowden accessed as a contract systems administrator for the NSA has been published since the first documents were reported by the Guardian and The Washington Post in early June.
NSA chief Keith Alexander said this month it is believed Snowden downloaded between 50,000 and 200,000 classified documents from the NSA and GCHQ – the NSA’s British counterpart. At times, Snowden used
unwitting employees’ passwords and access keys to reach documents and information he did not have permission to see.
Cryptome, a website that published leaked secret documents years before Wikileaks or Snowden arrived on the scene, estimates that about 500 documents from Snowden have been made public.
“The worst is yet to come,” one former US official familiar with the investigation said.
Among the classified documents Snowden accessed, but not yet published, were lists of names and resumes of NSA and GCHQ employees, the CIA and other US intelligence arms, such as the National Reconnaissance Center and the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency.

Snowden knows that Mossad controls the USA and to prevent
W W 3 he must blow the whistle
and do it now
All Martyr Snowden has to do, to prove that he is not just another convenient internet con artist, is to tell the world what State was responsible for attacking the United States on 9/11! It is as simple as that.
it’s like Skyfall! 😀
the documents have already implicated Israel as having access to NSA’s ‘raw intelligence’… I doubt theres any evidence of 9/11 being on any computer… anywhere!
I don’t believe for a moment that this Snowden guy gathered all of this info while working in a low level position for the NSA. I suspect that some other party is behind the releasing of all this info – possibly the NSA itself. I don’t view Snowden as some sort of superhero whistleblower hiding out in Russia. That is comic book stuff.
Have to say i agree with you..
Its not comic book stuff we have had several of these men risking their lives to get us info.
Just name the 5 dancing israelis,
please google it
BIGMAC
of course Ed Snowden didn’t gather 200,000 NSA documents and 50,000 GCHQ documents by himself… this was years in the making! Ed Snowden just took the fall for it! 😀 … it’s rather nice that the US administration has been talking to the Iranians behind Israels back… almost as if the US admin and her intel community are being blackmailed! I PROMISED YA’LL THIS WAR WITH IRAN WASN’T GOING TO HAPPEN!!!
it also gives anyone in GCHQ and NSA to leak documents to journalists… and just say it came from Ed!
WHO’S LAUGHING NOW SHITHEADS! LOSERS!
just act surprised Putin!
Hi Tap, do you think any of our readers know Edward Snowden, or Tyler Clementi or Steve Hoffman.
Edward should show us a photograph of when he had two broken legs, just to give leg’s to his story.
He is of course a Greenberg actor.
This is how I see it, he appeared from nowhere, has no photographs of his life and has no Family, a non person.
Do we even know if his name is really ‘Snowden’?
Glad someone else is paying attention Anon 8:27…
