again, to take kind of the lens of, to some degree, the journalist, to some degree, he's a volunteer here. To some degree, the journalists are recruiting him. There's a little bit of a push and pull.

I think Snowden's psychological combination here is really perfect from the standpoint of journalists trying to break stories or be from the standpoint of a police officer recruiting an asset because he has, you said innocence or naivete, and I think that's right. I mean, there's a complete lack of guile that he has He's smart, but he sort of lacks that kind of, I don't know, meanness to him.

He's kind of an innocent, naive kid, I guess you'd say, in some ways, who is not, importantly, not a coward, right? That's tough to recruit because if he's a coward, he doesn't want his name out there. But what he has instead is a massive ego.

And so you combine those things, that lack of guile with a massive ego, and you have someone who's willing to take a massive step, put his name out there as the source of all this stuff.

You've got to actually contact people in the NSA or the intelligence community to start, I mean, at least saying we have something and we're going to run it.

Also, Snowden, and you can even see this in the documentary, is he's dealing with personal stuff back home too, right? Because as this story is kind of coming to a head, his absence has been missed now in Hawaii, right? And police have been out to see his girlfriend in Hawaii. And there's kind of a sense, and you kind of see him troubled by this in the documentary, right?

That even though he's told his girlfriend, Lindsay Mills, absolutely nothing about what he's done or even where he is, that as I read in his sort of deranged manifesto, this idea that he was going to incur a massive personal cost for doing this. I mean, that is true, right? And that net is starting to close on him.
