      Fred Fleitz might be one of the most embarrassing propagandists of Bush (er, Cheney) Admin. He says you shouldn't pardon Snowden.

      Again, there's a respectable anti-pardon case to be made. But then Fred Fleitz is on their side, which discredits it all.

      I don't find agreement with @FredFleitz an indicator someone is automatically wrong. HPSCI report voted unanimously.

      Again, THAT's damning. There are a bunch of obviously disingenuous, if not false, points in report. It's absolutely propaganda.

      I think you're in a feisty mood this evening and picking fights. I disagree w/ @FredFleitz a lot but he's not always wrong.

      I mean, if HPSCI report conflicts w/officially released NSA documents on one available point, what should we conclude?

      That he "failed 702 training." per SV head he passed it.

      Moreover, as of 2014, claim he failed was based off post hoc explanation from SV training involved in 2 Snowden contacts.

          And there are a whole slew of other problems with that claim that an oversight committee worth its salt would investigate.

          this is why the full report matters. Hard to know which training they're referring to in this exchange.

          No. It's not. It's clearly based off an NSA story they didn't investigate, esp if you know req 702 training at time. Zero Q.

          Btw, when I asked NSA some questions to help them clarify this story they went nuclear, after promising to cooperate.

          I don't work for and don't defend the NSA, as you know. But, I've noticed that they get upset when they have an exculpatory...
