An anonymous coward writes:

This past Friday Laura Poitras screened her documentary, Citizenfour, about Edward Snowden and NSA whistleblowing. Revelations in the film include official confirmation of a long speculated second NSA leaker who remains with the NSA and is higher ranking than Snowden. We also learn that the girlfriend of ten years that Snowden left behind on Oahu has managed to travel to Russia and they are once again living together.

    Who was a Sysadmin. Does the SN editor sideline a /. ?

    The point is she/he potentially has access to even more shit than Snowden did.

    Come again? I don't follow what one has to do with the other nor understand the need for your snide remark.

    Snowden was employed by a private sector contractor.
    That's the way it works in the current realm of neoliberal government.
    The "higher than" seems to be a false characterization.
    Perhaps "with more access to even more sensitive information" would be apt.

      Contractors slot right into the org chart just like employees. Even parts of management are contracted out. Their badges might be a different color, but for nearly all intents and purposes they are indistinguishable, except the contractors take home more money at the end of the day. I'm speaking as a former DoD contractor.
