Leak causing enormous damage to U.S. national security interests of a dire warning has proved exaggerated. In 2010, hundreds of thousands of leaked U.S. diplomatic cables WikiLeaks, Washington seems to have been far below than the initial impact of a warning.
Militants to change their way of communication, may actually hinder the plot, because they take a different approach, in order to avoid detection.

How serious damage may be difficult to measure intelligence agencies do not know how much more sensitive material Snowden has yet to be announced.
Militants trying to cover their electronic tracks has a long history.
The main use of written messages and trust the messenger, "base" organization leader Osama bin Laden hid for years, until he was killed by U.S. forces in 2011. He reminded the militants in the electronic communications exercise caution. Information used for thumb drives and SIM card use, should be destroyed, he told them.
Damage assessment
Intelligence analysts worldwide exposure Snowdon use by the U.S. National Security Agency and the British Government Communications Headquarters institutions to enter the telephone and Internet traffic method to determine the operational impact.
Potential damage which Western intelligence, Russia and China and other foreign governments may have found the technical details of how to intercept communications and Western institutions to monitor specific areas or march.
U.S. officials fear that if Snowdon and anti-secrecy organization WikiLeaks, join now, release more classified information that he believes has a large cache, there may be further limited by Western counter-terrorism operations.

Disclosure of Snowdon U.S. electronic surveillance points target China, Washington could face charges of double standards, it has a network security talks with Beijing next month.
"How can you continue to stand in the United States after the moral high ground, demonize China, and accused us of hacking?" An informed source told Reuters reporters to the Chinese leaders in Beijing.
This position is considered by some American experts also Snowdon legend as a logical result.
