>He's never been in a position to get any governmental secrets and, AFAIK,

Part of his career was at Booz Allen Hamilton, though not for too long. Also he was in a position where corporate or personal secrets may have been accessible, which could also explain why an extradition would lead to action.

You're talking Snowden, right?

I think the GP you replied to meant McAfee. (Snowden was never supposed to have killed anyone, was he?)

No, McAfee worked at Booz Allen Hamilton in the 80's.

Aha... So Snowden only found the clues McAfee planted way back when; McAfee was actually the real whistle-blower all along!

...or not.

TIL; thanks.
