The former deputy director of the National Security Agency has taken issue with Oliver Stone’s biopic of one-time NSA employee Edward Snowden.
An NSA deputy director does feature in the film, played by Patrick Joseph Byrnes, and commissions Snowden to lead an important project in Hawaii.
To the point where you could come away from looking at that movie, saying, ‘Why are 50,000 people at the NSA dead wrong?
The former deputy director does concede that Snowden’s own motive may not have been wholly self-serving, although it is unclear whether Stone’s film contributed to any reassessment.
