Your point (appears to be?) that GCHQ staff are on par with other Monday morning armchair quarterbacks; seems weak.

- foldr 4y agoIt’s clearly the case in instances where they have the same information as everyone else.
- _djo_ 4y agoInformation inside agencies like GCHQ is strictly compartmentalised, with only the most senior staff having broad cross-programme understanding and access. In fact, people can be even more cut off from information if they're at a low enough level inside an agency like that because they're forbidden from viewing leaked information to avoid jeopardising their clearances. A GHCQ staffer working on, say, satellite signals intelligence for one of the regional desks is almost certainly not going to have any useful inside information on the case of someone like Assange.
