They're saying that this leak is actually worse than Snowden. I'm damn curious to figure out what's going on. Then again, I'm sure they are too.

This latest series? Most likely from State actors. They're actually going out and stealing the actual code and distributing it for some of the nsa's most powerful hacking tools.

 

So, basically the difference between the Americans developed a radar evading bomber and

 

hey, here's the chemical composition of the material that minimizes the radar signature.
