Edward Snowden @Snowden

@janawinter @RonWyden No matter how classified the environment, government jobs attract government workers. The difference between the working-level and policy-level folks is, to an embarrassing degree, mostly just the awareness to avoid saying the quiet part out loud. — PolitiTweet.org

@janawinter @RonWyden In my experience, the, uh, "cavalier" working-level environment that Rambo describes isn't *entirely* an ass-covering construction (although there's clearly an element of that). It's strikingly consistent with what I saw at both NSA and CIA. Very "boys will be boys." — PolitiTweet.org

@janawinter @RonWyden I spoke too broadly there, because this particular attitude problem, of course, is not a universal attribute, and there are many good people in government. But I will never forget how openly—and how regularly—a colleague used to advocate for dropping people out of helicopters. — PolitiTweet.org
