NSA lost Edward Snowden has strong Maryland ties

Edward Snowden, the former employee of the Central Intelligence Agency and the national security agency contractor credited with the realization of the "fuga higher intelligence in a generation" has a series of ties important, and narrow to Maryland.

Patch:

The Guardian, the British newspaper which published most of the initial reports about secret programs, revealed his identity in an interview with Snowden. 29 Years of age are apparently hiding in Hong Kong.

Snowden grew up in Elizabeth City, North Carolina, according to the document, but his family later moved to Maryland near NSA Headquarters in Fort Meade.

He enrolled in - but not graduated, a Maryland community college and eventually enlisted in the United States Army, reports The Guardian. Later became a security guard in a center of the University of Maryland NSA before landing a job on it security with the CIA.

Snowden most recently worked as a contractor for the NSA in Hawaii, according to the newspaper.

This is what says a spokesman of the University's time of Snowden in the institution:

Susan Gross, a spokeswoman for the Anne Arundel Community College, said that a Joseph Edward Snowden took classes there intermittently since 1999, when Snowden was about 15 years, during the fall of 2005, although he never earned a degree or certificate from the school.

"We cannot confirm with certainty that it is the same person on the phone of the NSA monitoring situation as Snowden is a popular name in this area", Gross said in an e-mail.

The installation of the NSA's Maryland where he worked Snowden is supposedly in College Park. Beyond that, the newspaper of UMD, diamond, is hard to pin down specific:

Facilities and exactly where it was Snowden worked is unknown, but the NSA has connections with various university facilities, including physical science lab, the technology commercialization Office and telecommunications science laboratory.

According to the Sun, records also show that Edward Joseph Snowden listed an address in Ellicott City, Maryland, in a neighborhood about 40 miles from Washington, D.C., the Sun described as "orderly":

No one answered the door there on Sunday afternoon. House front, gray clapboard, with a dining area and a "Welcome" sign was soon swarmed with reporters and cameramen from outlets like CNN, USA Today and CBS once was revealed the identity of Snowden.

Neighbour Joyce Kinsey, who lives in nearby apartments, says Snowden has lived there since he was a teenager. She described him as quiet and said I'd see him on the computer much at home.

These links would not be enough to bring Snowden - now in Hong Kong, but apparently see asylum in Iceland - back. As he said during his interview with the Guardian, "I do not expect see page again."
