>These documents are important to the public, but they're of minimal value to an enemy. I think at least some other nations would like to know what the documents contain, not because of the data itself, but because it could clue them into what kind of capabilities our intelligence departments have. It's one thing to know that the NSA is spying on its own citizens, but it's an entirely different thing to know that they can intercept and decipher X and Y forms of communications but may not yet be able or feel the need to monitor form Z.
