Are foreign assets being relocated by CIA and NSA?

[kentuck]

Since the government and the NSA has stated that they are concerned that Snowden will expose foreign assets, will they continue to keep them in place anyway?

Should not they all be moved to different countries so that if Snowden does expose the names, they will be obsolete. Or will they keep everyone where they are at present? Is this something that they are really concerned about or is it just more domestic propaganda?

If Snowden does have this information, does the government have any responsibility to protect these sources?

3. I'm still trying to find the alleged bloodbath after the Wikileaks revelations.

I guess we'll have to settle for dazzling news about how naughty Assange, Manning, and Snowden are.

4. Or we'll get bombarded with lots of self-promoting blue links.

5. All evidence suggests Snowden did not release any names.

That would explain why nobody is being moved.

Of course, if people were being moved, it's unlikely that DU would know about it.

6. Foreign assets has nearly no meaning to the NSA

The NSA is an electronic spying organization, it does not have need or use for "foreign assets". They don't use spies, they use antennas. Don't confuse them with the CIA.
