Can the NSA pull up the phone calls made by Edward Snowden?

We are told they were listening to everyone's phone calls? Were they listening to the phone calls of their own people?

Wouldn't they know who he talked with before he went to Hong Kong? Wouldn't they know who he has called since he has been overseas?

How much should we respect the work of the NSA?

Are they listening to your calls and my calls but not their own employees?

What kind of operation do we have here, anyway?

He's smart enough to encrypt his communications, use proxy servers, etc.

I'm sure the NSA is hot on his virtual tail, however.

NSA couldn't pull up the passenger list and see he had left town?

These are the people making us secure?
