Leaking is releasing information for your own gain, while whistleblowing is releasing information for the good of the public. The intelligence community sometimes leaks their own information, which is often poorly thought out. For example, to announce the death of US citizen Anwar al-Aulaqi, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/the-cia-operations-technology-langley\/\">the CIA<\/a> had to admit their top secret drone program and kill list existed. The government tends to be okay with leaks when they benefit them. They ignore leaks that caused problems.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Ed couldn\u2019t blow the whistle by talking to someone higher up the chain of command because the highest authorities knew\u2014and had authorized\u2014mass surveillance. <\/strong>Between blowing the whistle and a leak, for Snowden, leak was the right thing to do.&nbsp;<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Ed decided he was going to leak the intelligence community\u2019s original documents rather than simply describe <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/stellar-wind-edward-snowden-surveillance\/\">STELLARWIND<\/a> to the press.<\/strong> This meant that he had to access the documents, organize them, and then remove them from the NSA building.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Snowden: Leak Strategy&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Self-publishing (posting the docs online and sharing a link) was the safest and easiest option. Still, Ed rejected it because it didn\u2019t lend him enough authority. People on the Internet are always claiming to be leaking top secret information. He didn\u2019t want the Snowden leak to be dismissed as the work of just another conspiracy theorist. Additionally, no one would understand the documents without context.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ed had already found the documents he needed to leak through Heartbeat, but the NSA logs everything that\u2019s done on their network-connected computers, so Ed couldn\u2019t organize or make copies of the files without attracting attention. He switched to the night shift and invented a compatibility-testing project that gave him a legitimate reason to transfer Heartbeat files onto older computers that weren\u2019t connected to the NSA\u2019s main networks. On these old computers, Ed compressed and encrypted the documents and transferred them onto small SD cards. Then he smuggled the SD cards out of the NSA in his cheek, in his socks, or behind the panels of a Rubik\u2019s Cube.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Before Edward Snowden, Leaks Impacted Morale<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>After 9\/11, morale at the CIA was at an all-time low. <\/strong>CIA employees viewed the reorganization and other political maneuverings as betrayal. They felt blamed for some of the Bush administration\u2019s mistakes and they didn\u2019t like Goss as a director because he was a politician. They felt that having a partisan director was an attempt to weaponize the agency. Additionally, Goss was unpopular because he forced retirements, laid people off, and fired people. The CIA, now understaffed, used even more contractors than before.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The CIA was also unpopular with the public because information about black site prisons and other activities was leaked around the same time.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Snowden: Leak Anonymously or Publicly?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It would have been possible, at least temporarily, to remain anonymous after leaking the documents. In fact, for Edward Snowden, leaks in a secret fashion were a consideration. In the end, he <strong>decided to come forward from the beginning.&nbsp;<\/strong><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Access to all of the files that were being leaked was limited. Within the intelligence community, he was likely the only person that had access to every single one of those files. After Edward Snowden leaks files that only he has access to, it wouldn\u2019t take the intelligence community long to figure out he was the source. He could have shared fewer files, but that would have weakened his credibility. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What came out in the Snowden leak?
