Snowden impersonated NSA officials, sources say:
"Edward Snowden accessed some secret national security documents by assuming
the electronic identities of top NSA officials, said intelligence sources.
“Every day, they are learning how brilliant [Snowden] was,” said a former U.S.
official with knowledge of the case. “This is why you don’t hire brilliant people for
jobs like this. You hire smart people. Brilliant people get you in trouble.”"
