The power of the secret NSA is still underestimated by the flood of revelations Snowden, warns the American military reporter Jeremy Scahill. "The NSA is not a bunch of computer nerds who sit around Fort Meade and listen to phone calls," he told dpa. "The NSA is a massive beast of an organization that has a fundamentally military mission." There is no clear boundary between intelligence and the military. Scahill is working with Glenn Greenwald, the journalist, the Edward Snowden has handed over its stockpile of secret documents. Scahill is a fellow in Greenwald's new media organization that is funded by eBay founder and billionaire Pierre Omidyar.
