Abundant tweets about civil liberties & national security. "Has a longer memory than an elephant & keeps more records than Jim Comey.” Legendary potty mouth.

      @RadioFreeTom And also that specific claim would mean ISIL is batshit stupid for not knowing public info before. @robertcaruso

      @emptywheel @robertcaruso Except, of course, the story also asks other ppl besides Morrell.

      @RadioFreeTom And they don't say what Morrell says. Again, this is very basic provenance stuff anyone should attend to. @robertcaruso

      @emptywheel @robertcaruso Golly, Marcie, can you instruct me in how to do peer-reviewed research, too? Because it's really a mystery to me.

      @emptywheel @robertcaruso You're definitely a "I don't like this forest or these trees, so I'll talk about bark and grass instead" type.

      @emptywheel @robertcaruso Either Snowden's theft helped ISIS or it didn't. Either Morrell is lying or he's not. It's that simple.

      @RadioFreeTom Actually, those are two different things. Obviously. @robertcaruso

      @emptywheel @robertcaruso Your answer to both or either is: "You know, the way the PRB does things is very suspect."

      @RadioFreeTom So: Morrell may be lying, and it may be true that people have learned from Snowden. Basic logic, you know. @robertcaruso

          @emptywheel @robertcaruso But you grant neither of them, because all evidence fails your carefully crafted evidential rules. QED

          @RadioFreeTom Do I think they also learn from everything else? Yep? Do I think they didn't know abt FAA? Nope. That's dumb. @robertcaruso

          @emptywheel @robertcaruso So, you agree that ISIS "learned from Snowden." Even if you dismiss Morrell, you admit that, correct?

          @RadioFreeTom You, on other hand, are saying they'd ONLY learn from Snowden which I find...unlikely. @robertcaruso

          @emptywheel @robertcaruso That's not what I said. That's not what Morrell said. But it's the argument you'd prefer to refute.

          @RadioFreeTom I would say, however, that it's clear the biggest assist to ISIL was George Bush. @robertcaruso

          @emptywheel @robertcaruso It took you this many tweets to get to ButBush™? You're slipping. So, Snowden *did* aid ISIS, correct?
