After Snowden, the NSA Faces Recruitment Challenge

He could generate a lot more attention for him as a person if he wanted. Instead he let the world largely focus on the material he could extract. Which is good, because this shouldn't be about him: If it was the media and government would try even harder to find irksome material about him as a person (Bullshit like "his girlfriend was a stripper, and this is why we should not trust the material").

Or do you actually think the material is forged?

It is, by his own admission, heavily curated. Both in what he exfiltrated and what selections from that have actually been published.

Because if it had not been then the long knives would have been out for such irresponsible wholesale disclosure.

What's the difference? He fled the country anyway.

It is, but I don't see how any material that hasn't been disclosed yet could somehow offset the revelations offered by what has been.

That's shockingly uncreative of you. You don't even need to come up with your own ideas if that's too hard for you, just watch some dumb 90s scifi.
