NSA: Snowden stole "key national information"
AFP reported that in an interview with CBS's "60 Minutes" program broadcast on December 15, a senior official of the US National Security Agency (NSA) said that US intelligence leaker Edward Snowden had actually stolen "key information for the country" when he possessed more than 1.5 million top secret documents.
Rick Ledgett, head of the NSA task force assessing the impact of Snowden's leaks, said Snowden had a "clear map" of the strengths and weaknesses of the US intelligence community.

According to Ledgett, this information risks providing a hostile country with "a guide to what we know and what we don't know, and (absolutely) how to protect it from the scrutiny of the US intelligence community. This is information that is critical to the nation."./.
