How Much Did Snowden Leak?

NSA Director Gen. Keith Alexander revealed that Edward Snowden “leaked as many as 200,000 classified U.S. documents to the media,” Reuters reports.

“Alexander added that the documents were ‘being put out in a way that does the maximum damage to NSA and our nation’… None of the WikiLeaks material was classified higher than “Secret” but many NSA documents leaked by Snowden were marked ‘Top Secret’ or with an even more restrictive ‘Special Intelligence’ stamp.”
