Security experts have reportedly called NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden's claim of being 'immune to torture' as odd and said that he doesn't know what he is talking about.

Snowden in his letter to the US senator had claimed that no force could compel him to compromise the secrets about the US intelligence and that he knows how to protect the data in 'highest threat counter intelligence environments', even under torture, the Washington Times reports.

National security and intelligence analyst Joshua Foust said that Snowden's claims were odd as his laughable claim of being 'torture immune' while spouting delusions of assassination, makes the whole affair terribly odd.

Another security expert, former Navy SEAL Brandon Webb said that Snowden is very 'naive' to make such claims, the report added.
