This article is straight up government-narrative propaganda meant to steer and dilute.<p>- Of course there is SIGINT going on in the Middle East.<p>- But &quot;exposing&quot; this will be seen as indiscriminately aiding &quot;enemies&quot;.<p>- Once again driving the focus on Snowden, calling it his controversy, referencing him in the title, etc.<p>- Mention &quot;terrorism&quot; investigation with regards to Miranda, even though he&#x27;s not being held in custody.<p>- But even more super scary secret files were confiscated, so don&#x27;t worry, the government is keeping you safe by thwarting these people<p>- Imply Greenwald now has a personal mission to cause as much damage as possible to all the good people hold dear.
