The piece is pretty vacuous. It lacks so much information, it reads as a made-up story. Does anybody know what documents he’s talking about?

- JKCalhoun 4y agoHe admits himself there may have never been documents. I don't think it reads as made up, but it really does seem like there's not really anything there. A meeting that did not happen with someone that may or may not have had something....

- tootie 4y agoIt's surprising to see Risen write for The Intercept but honestly this piece would probably not get printed by NYT. It's definitely an incomplete story without any conclusive proof of who did what or why and is something of a personal narrative. I guess Risen just wanted this on the record somewhere since people were telling their side of the story elsewhere.
- lapcat 4y agoRisen said the NYT killed his story about the CIA, which was later published in his book and caused the Obama administration to subpoena him for his sources.
