Not a Snowden fan in the least but ignoring the fact that CEH certification is "highly valued" for quite a few DoD jobs (http://www.eccouncil.org/Support/dod-8570), this reeks of attempting to write off terrible access controls and oversight on whatever network he had access to by pinning it on those terrible "hackers".

I am sure these hackers are going to need to be dealt with using new invasive legislation, right? So frustrating.
