re: #278 Nyet

I should say though that if this story does pan out, if Russia and China did really crack the code by themselves, then those who said that Snowden simply gave them the documents as a part of a deal were dead wrong. It might not be a great difference in the big scheme of things, but it’s a difference nevertheless.

It would make a difference if one could believe that computer expert Snowden didn’t think that the Russians and the Chinese would bend every effort toward acquiring the data and decrypting it as quickly as possible.
