The fact is they totally suck except when it comes to vacuuming up communications they can never get around to analyzing except retroactively because they don't have enough analysts. How convenient to now blame their ineptitude on Snowden after they stranded him in Russia by canceling his passport so he couldn't get to Latin America.
