In reply to the discussion: So Its Now Pretty Obvious Snowden Gave the Names of US and British Agents to China and Russia [View all]bemildred
(90,061 posts)The source of the weirdness remains speculative, but it's definitely incompetent to have your passwords etc. handy to the encrypted stuff in transit, and Miranda says he gave them what he had, but we have no details as to what he had, just AES256, and we know it was a bunch of Snowden's stuff because Greenwald said so, but again no details.
But Snowden is "famously paranoid", and one assumes he was not careless with keys, so how is this "Snowden's Stuff" if he did not encrypt it? Who did encrypt it? Poitras? But she is "famously paranoid" too. Greenwald could be that incompetent, and Miranda clearly is, but Greenwald's back in Brazil, so I don't see him encrypting this, though they would use his key.
So I'm waiting for the other shoe to fall, which would probably come from Greenwald, in the form of continued silence or a statement of apology or counterattack.
And I don't see that it affects more than Greenwald's personal drama, the stuff is still out there and being released.
