Take it up with an intelligence officer, Rambo. Either way someone far above the level of this private is responsible and they're trying to save face with the standard white man bad shtick.
You believe what a CIA spook says on the mainstream media circuit? Are you retarded? Dude was in the military which usually warrants some level of clearance. This spook says it takes years to get. Ok let's roll with that assumption. They also said this kid didn't go to college, so I'll assume he joined the Guard right after high school. That's 3 years, plenty of time to get base level of Secret clearance (which isn't actually all that hard). He gets put on the intelligence project and then probably lands an interim TS, at which point they're fine to read him on for the SCI. The fact that he's with the military and young means his background check doesn't take all that long, doubly so if the kid led a relatively boring life and didn't get into trouble with the law or travel overseas.
Again, it is entirely believable that this kid had access to top secret documents.
