As someone else said, Snowden pawned off the responsibility to redact and protect to a group of journalist with no subject matter expertise. It was a reckless and irresponsible choice. If anyone in the chain of custody knew what to redact to protect those in the field, it was Snowden. But he chose to abdicate that responsibility to journalists.
- kergonath 4y agoThat was the sensible decision, as he was too close to the material. He would bear more responsibility than he already did, yes, but it would also look partial and one-sided. Investigative journalists know how to handle this kind of material and have training and experience. Snowden very much did not.
