CIA. By 2004, he had joined the FBI as the section head of its avia-
tion and special operations. In this capacity, he supervised the joint
CIA-FBI interrogation of the prisoners in the Guantánamo base in
Cuba, which involved him in the rendition program for terrorists.
Barrett could certainly have played a role in furthering his only
grandson’s employment. The CIA, however, has not disclosed any
information about who, if anyone, recommended Snowden. All that
is known is that in 2006 the CIA waived its minimum requirements
for him.
Later Snowden pointed out from Moscow that in 2006 the fed-
eral government employed his entire family. His father was serving
in the Coast Guard; his mother was an administrative clerk for the
federal court in Maryland; his sister was a research director at the
Federal Judicial Center; and Admiral Barrett was still a top executive
at the FBI. In a sense, Snowden had entered the family business.
