Intelligence Community Reviewing ‘Damage’ Done By NSA Whistleblower -- The Hill

The intelligence community is reviewing the "damage" done by a series of leaks revealing the National Security Agency's secret phone and internet surveillance, the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (DNI) said Sunday.

"The Intelligence Community is currently reviewing the damage that has been done by these recent disclosures. Any person who has a security clearance knows that he or she has an obligation to protect classified information and abide by the law," the statement said.

The DNI statement came hours after Edward Snowden, a 29-year-old Booz Allen Hamilton infrastructure analyst went public as the person who leaked the information on top secret NSA intelligence programs.

Update: Official: Damage assessment over U.S. intelligence-gathering leaks -- CNN

My Comment: So far three top intelligence programs have been compromised .... and since the person responsible for the leaks is now known .... I suspect that right now there are dozens .... correction .... hundreds of intelligence employees and specialists going through every bit of info and intel that they have on Edward Snowden .... starting with the most important being .... what intel did he have access to .... and what else could he possibly know.

Bottom line .... the damage that NSA whistle blower Edward Snowden has done is very serious .... but it is what the U.S. intelligence community does not know that is "freaking them out".
