And the vast majority of what Greenwald and Snowden have released have not been facts, they've been insinuations and suppositions. Some choose to believe those insinuations and suppositions and I don't think anyone wants to disabuse them of that.
But when those insinuations and suppositions are being used to try and convince others to climb on board, it all falls apart. Facts would garner more 'believers'. There are few facts in this matter. No smoking guns.
