This has <i>zero</i> content. Why do we waste time looking at fluff? Once there is actual information to discuss, we can discuss, but for the moment there is just nothing there.
What else is left? Maybe there is a network of civilian spies, and half the americans are on it? A Flu virus that turns you to an informant?<p>I 'm not sure i like this tv-series-style unraveling. If it was something the planet depended on they wouldn't tease us with it for Guardian's page views, right? Anyway, i have no idea what is coming, truly
The Verison metadata issue was pretty big I thought, but am I the only one who didn't really think much of PRISM? I mean isn't PRISM just a name for "send out NSLs to these companies that have a bunch of data"? Something we've known about forever?<p>Someone please enlighten me, I'm not trying to be sarcastic/edgy/whatever.
I understand that dumping everything at once would probably be a bad idea but the tweeting of teasers? If it's really going to be such a big deal it should be treated with respect.<p>edit: Hopefully this will come out on Monday, start of the week is always a good time to release stuff that you want eyeballs on.
(From the first tweet at the top of the original link.)<p>"Ellsberg: "There has not been in US history a more important leak than Snowden's –and that definitely includes Pentagon Papers 40 years ago""<p>Ellsberg sounds very definitive on the importance of the Snowden's information. I wonder if Greenwald has shown him information that the general public hasn't seen yet.
I read this as a statement of fact, not as a teaser. People are doubting the relevance of what he has to say and he simply says: why are you already drawing conclusions about something I haven't published yet?
