Anyone else think this is meant to distract from the Office of Personnel Management breach and hacked SF-86 documents?

It's not a distraction in the "hey look over there!" kind of sense. It's more like "it's totally Snowden's fault all our spies are exposed now...like a week after the OPM and SF-86 hacks."

I'm not sure why it's credible to say that just because two events are happening in the news at similar times that one is a distraction from the other. You could say that about a hundred different news items throughout the day.
