U.S. intelligence director calls on Snowden to return NSA documents

20. That's what I was wondering

Forty years ago when spies had to photocopy the things they stole, like James Hall did, a spy could have returned the documents he stole. In today's digital era? Now that Greenwald and Poitras, the Guardian, the Washington Post, Der Spiegel if I remember correctly, and half the Internet, have those files (not to mention Snowden almost certainly has a set of his own), and none of those people are likely to give them back, there's no damn way they'd get everything back.

I realize Clapper's an imagery-intelligence guy, but come on.
