LANGLEY, Va. — In response to Edward Snowden's assertion that he was a spy for the U.S. government, the CIA has not only confirmed it, but added that Snowden was one of their top assassins.
CIA Director John Brennan made the revelation as part of a larger program by the U.S. government to declassify and release all the e-mails sent by Snowden during his time as a government technician and highly-trained killer.
"Snowden was our most lethal operative," Brennan told reporters. "Sure by day he just pretended to be an inept and pretentious systems administrator but at night Snowden, or 'Agent Qwerty' as he was known in the department, was part of our covert MD-5 program."
According to Brennan, Snowden was secretly recruited by the CIA in 2004, straight out of his National Guard basic training where he had enlisted as a Special Forces recruit.
