They are doing us a huge favor by dripping the content. This forces other media outlets to continue the coverage of the (relatively un-sexy) topic. We were complaining for ages that nobody covers and addresses privacy related issues. Thanks to Greenwald's and Sowden's media strategy it finally becomes frontpage news. Plus, with a little bit of luck we see the US government getting a few more times caught lying to the public in very clear terms. In my opinion this is going to be a case study on how to masterfully orchestrate a press campaign. Just look at this week, Sunday: Release of the G20 spying story, Monday: Live Q&A, Tuesday: Most likely discussion of something he revealed in the Q&A, etc. Wouldn't be surprised if they had scheduled out a few weeks ahead. I'm sure there is at least a prime-time TV interview with Snowden still to come.
