Summary
This document is page 118 from the book 'How America Lost Its Secrets' by Edward Jay Epstein (indicated by the filename 'Epst_...'). It discusses Edward Snowden's justification for leaking NSA documents, specifically focusing on intelligence sharing with Israel (Unit 8200) regarding communications in Gaza, the West Bank, and Lebanon. It argues that Snowden's actions compromised an Israeli source and critiques his definition of whistle-blowing, comparing it to the actions of spies like Kim Philby. The page bears a House Oversight Committee Bates stamp.
