(115,475 posts)...that our government has been releasing a lot of information in the last week or two to keep ahead of Snowden and Greenwald. They are attempting to beat them to the punch. They believe it is better to release it with their own spin than to wait for Greenwald or someone else to release it.
Also, I believe that our government has made a deal with the UK in regards to the information. The UK has threatened or may already have destroyed some of the hard drive information, as reported a couple of days ago? If the UK government can control the Guardian, they can work with our intelligence to release the information they want to release before Greenwald has a chance?
They are in damage control mode, in my opinion. There is a lot of information that neither government wants to be released. They are attempting to stop the information at the source. It will be interesting to see what the NYTimes does with their new accessibility?
