There is something odd about the PRISM leak, only 5 slides have been published, yet Snowden wanted the full 41 slides released.
Both Glenn Greenwald and Barton Gellman seem to have no desire to publish the rest, Greenwald had this to say about them ..."we’re not publishing NSA tech methods”.
At this point the "tech methods" might be the only truth to this enigmatic subject.
Greenwald is between a rock and a hard place, on one hand the rest of the slides might be too sensitive to publish, and on the other hand none of what has been published makes much sense.
- eightyone 13y agoI found these tweets a couple days ago from Glenn Greenwald. Click to see the full context, of course. "The highly detailed NSA technical materials on how they eavesdrop, that I have & am not publishing." [1] "You won't - it contains very specific technical NSA means for collection - we'd probably be prosecuted if we did." [2] "There are all sorts of secrets I have I'm not publishing - it's public interest v. harm analysis at the heart of journalism."
