          @Snowden The very next paragraph has him stating that "we are a safer, more secure nation without back doors." Former NSA boss knows it.

          @Snowden But he said it to describe the position of his opponents in the row over backdoors. He said he was against universal backdoors.

          @Snowden Isn't this twisting his words? But most important is to understand that the rabble don't care either way. (And that typography...)
