This document appears to be page 297 from the book 'How America Lost Its Secrets' by Edward Jay Epstein (indicated by the filename 'Epst' and ISBN), processed as part of a House Oversight investigation. The text discusses the negative impact of Edward Snowden's leaks on U.S. and allied intelligence capabilities, specifically citing former Paris prosecutor François Molins and CIA official Michael Morell. It details how terrorist groups like ISIS shifted to end-to-end encryption (specifically Telegram) to evade PRISM surveillance and mentions the 2014 discovery of ISIS plans to use biological weapons (bubonic plague) against Western targets.
