It added law enforcement and intelligence    sources said the FBI searched the Virginia home of a government    contractor who is believed    to have disclosed sensitive information regarding the    Terrorist Identities Datamart Environment; they added a    criminal investigation has begun in the matter.  <\/p>\n<p>    Details of the watch list obtained from Snowden, published on    the Intercept, were dated August 2013, months after the website    first published information obtained from Snowden, a former NSA    contractor. It fostered speculation of the existence of a    second person providing the website with information, Yahoo    News said.  <\/p>\n<p>    U.S. Department of Justice spokesman Marc Raimondi reportedly    commented, \"Investigators are continuing to pursue it (the case    against the alleged second leaker), but are not ready to charge    yet.\"  <\/p>\n<p>    Existence of a second person who allegedly    turned over sensitive material to reporters was mentioned in    the documentary film Citizenfour, directed by The    Intercept co-founder Laura Poitras, released last week.    The film reportedly shows Snowden excited    to learn of a new leak in U.S. intelligence.  <\/p>\n<p>    The film suggests the second leaker provided Snowden with    information outlining \"the rulebook for placing people on a    variety of watch lists,\" The Intercept journalist Jeremy    Scahill reportedly in an interview on the radio program    \"Democracy Now\" last week. Scahill reportedly added the source    is \"an extremely principled and brave whistleblower,\" the    International Business Times reported Tuesday.  <\/p>\n<p>   2014 United Press International, Inc.
