What he leaked is a slideshow. The rest of what he said has been received by many here as gospel, when in fact, there are legitimate questions about his truthfulness.
So if you want to stick to primary sources, we have a PPT wit some logos thrown about in a tacky way.
- utnick 13y agoDidn't he also leak the verizon metadata story which was confirmed true by various senators?
- nsp 13y agoWhat's his incentive for lying? I totally understand being a skeptical that a relatively low level contractor got access to everything, but I don't understand what would motivate someone to go public and incite the wrath of us intelligence if he didn't at least believe he was telling the truth. If he's a Chinese mole, or in cahoots with enemies of the state, it doesn't seem like leaking some slides to the guardian and then filming a confession would be the way to go about it. Is the argument just that he's incompetent/confused, or am I missing something? Genuine question.
