Snowden is a former\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eSenior Advisor to the NSA, a former Field Officer with the CIA,\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eand a former lecturer for the United States Defense Intelligence\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eAgency. He had confidential information he wanted to share with\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eGreenwald, but would only do it if he knew their connection was\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003esecure.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eGreenwald is a journalist known for his reporting on the\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003ewrongdoings of the National Security Agency (NSA). Snowden\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003ewanted Greenwald to use PGP (pretty good privacy) encryption on\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003ehis computer so that he could safely send him some information\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003ethat he had gathered. Although Greenwald considered adding these\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eextra security measures to his computer, he was very busy with\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eother things and did not want to take the time to put the\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003ecomplicated software in place. Snowden sent him a guide on how\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eto add the encryption, but Greenwald still took no action. Snowden\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eoffered to find someone who could help Greenwald install the\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003esystem. Without positive proof that the information Snowden had\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003ewas really newsworthy, Greenwald did not feel motivated to take\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003ethe steps necessary to install the PGP encryption. However,\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003ewithout a secure form of communication in place, Snowden was\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eunwilling to risk sharing the information he had with Greenwald.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eThis communication between the two took place over several\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eweeks and then came to a standstill.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eOn April 18, Laura Poitras contacted Greenwald.

She made three films about the conduct of the\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eUnited States during the war on terror, which made her a target of\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003egovernment officials whenever she entered or left the country.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003ePoitras wanted to talk to Greenwald about something but would\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eonly do it in person and in private in a secure location...\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePLEASE NOTE: This is a summary and analysis of the book and NOT the original book.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eWith Instaread Summaries, you can get the summary of a book in 30 minutes or\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eless.
