I was a major skeptic of Snowden for the whole first year of Glenn Greenwald's releases. The Snowden leak was too convenient for folks like me that suspected it was going on for years, ever since the 1980's encryption scandal involving RSA and also PGP. They were clearly up to no good, but without evidence it was easy to dismiss. Then almost a year to the date of the first publishing of the Snowden docs, along came heartbleed, which clearly showed the Snowden documents were legitimate. As more technical leaning documents came out, they also proved it. Without those documents though, we'd be told it was all a fairy tale.
