Creepy Pick of Snowden as a Teen (mole on neck).
To be fair, when these stories came out there was no reason to place any trust whatsoever in what any government representative had to say about anything. In hindsight, the story makes more sense.

The NSA challenges the image Snowden paints of himself. If the government is correct in its assertions, then Snowden is a treasonous spy who has stolen at least four laptops containing all sorts of secrets.
The government also maintains that Snowden could be an agent of the Chinese government.
[As usual, hard to find out who he really is. His story seems implausible now.]
Snowden was only working for Booz Allen for three months before exposing the NSA secrets.
