> Two very different narratives on the former National Security Agency contractor unfolded this week. Both proved that

> Inglis says he and Snowden have never met, which is the first of many bones he has to pick with the film. In it, 
> there's a scene where the NSA deputy director asks Snowden to go to Hawaii to lead an important project. The deputy 
> director at the time, in real life, was Chris Inglis.

> "It's preposterous on its face. For many reasons," says Inglis. "That a deputy director would reach down to a
