Edward, a friend of mine works for the NSA. He still actively denies that anything you have done or said is legitimate, completely looking past any documented proof that you uncovered and released.

Is this because at lower levels of the agency, they don't see what's going on in the intelligence gathering section? Or do you suspect he simply refuses to see any wrongdoing by his employer?

I completely understand him not wanting to say something over the phone... but when I brought up Edward Snowden, his defensiveness about the subject was not "feeding me the company line," he was genuinely upset about what Snowden did and was angrily calling him a traitor.

Given that it was the day before the guy's wedding, I didn't want to get into it with him by mentioning my views that Snowden is a national hero. He was already irate at the mere mention of Snowden's name. That's far from just telling me what he's "supposed to" say. He genuinely believed what he was saying.

Nice recovery.

His foundation might be an easier way to get in touch with him.

A lot of diseases that are non-terminal or slow to kill can be devastating to children and the elderly, who naturally have weakened immune systems. CF seems to vary greatly in its affect on people. I've known two people with CF who were diagnosed around the same time and were roughly the same age- one was basically able to go about his daily routine with lowered stamina and some fits of coughing, and does tai chi every day and uses an oxygen mask at night, while the other person was reduced to about 20 hours of bed rest a day on a machine. There's just no way to predict how it will affect a person.
