Greenwald's opinions about how the DoD manages classified information aren't relevant, because Greenwald has never seriously reported the IA practices in the DoD.
I thought the US government has itself admitted on numerous occasions that a great deal of classified information should not be classified. I mean, the whole Apache episode does seem relevant here: the military classified and then caused the disappearance of footage that made them look bad, even though there was no reason to hide that footage from Reuters. Or at least, no reason relating to operational security. Obviously, making sure that no military officer ever be held accountable for their conduct is a very good reason to classify everything in sight.
I thought it was implausible that he had valuable information?
Who said that? The closest claim I can think of is that it was implausible that analyst had access to information that was operationally relevant to national security.
