"Bobby R. Inman, N.S.A. director from 1977 to 1981, offers his hyper-secret former agency a radical suggestion for right now. 'My advice would be to take everything you think Snowden has and get it out yourself,' he said. 'It would certainly be a shock to the agency. But bad news doesn't get better with age. The sooner they get it out and put it behind them, the faster they can begin to rebuild.'" (emphasis mine)
BTW: I believe in the table 1 instead of "Percentage of
Account Requests
Where Some Data
Was Disclosed" should be "Percentage of
Accounts
Where Some Data
Was Disclosed." Otherwise Hong Kong numbers don't have sense.

What's the bad news they're getting out before somebody else outs it?
