why did the bureaucrats allow a guy like snowden so much access?


He was a system admin and he stole credentials to get more than he personally was supposed to have access to. He then took a web crawler and scraped everything he could from the databases he got access to. He had made a conscious decision to take that job to get everything he could he get his grubby fingers on and he took it all.

I really wish Greenwald would publish the manifesto that Snowden had first given him to publish. That would be a hoot. Glenn said it was a bit too "unibomber" for publication.

sounds like a complete failure of the bureaucracy and very program itself, from the bottom (Vetting) to the top (security, access, authority, oversight, management, etc)

if you want your highly suspect program, you're going to get these issues
