I don't know where to ask this question. So I'll post this here. It's likely an unpopular theory.

Where did Der Spiegel get their information about the NSA (specifically TAO's and ANT) project names and projects? Is it likely that it came from the Snowden leaks? If so, isn't that treason? Let's not cherry-pick whistleblowing on PRISM or X-Keyscore but also look at all the other NSA projects that have been leaked. If he is the source, I have a major problem with that information being leaked by him.

Specifically, I'm talking about these articles: http://www.spiegel.de/international/world/catalog-reveals-ns...

And the most damning piece of treason is this:
