Document Summary
This document appears to be page 47 of a book manuscript (likely 'How America Lost Its Secrets' by Edward Jay Epstein, based on the filename ISBN) produced as part of a House Oversight Committee investigation. The text analyzes the psychological motivations of leakers, referencing Edward Shils' work on the 'torment of secrecy,' and details Edward Snowden's mindset and access levels at the NSA in 2012. It describes Snowden's SCI clearance and his rhetorical questioning of colleagues regarding the potential impact of leaking secret data.
