Snowden As Full-On Legit CIA

Edward Snowden was more than an IT guy?  He was a for-real covert operative?  I'm not so sure.  Yes, there is something a little odd about the whole affair, and the story of Snowden, along with Snowden's story, is full of holes right now.  Actual CIA spook, though?  That would be a laugh riot if true, and if we could somehow get the CIA to cop to it.
