- mindslight 13y agoThis article is straight up government-narrative propaganda meant to steer and dilute. - Of course there is SIGINT going on in the Middle East. - But "exposing" this will be seen as indiscriminately aiding "enemies". - Once again driving the focus on Snowden, calling it his controversy, referencing him in the title, etc. - Mention "terrorism" investigation with regards to Miranda, even though he's not being held in custody. - But even more super scary secret files were confiscated, so don't worry, the government is keeping you safe by thwarting these people - Imply Greenwald now has a personal mission to cause as much damage as possible to all the good people hold dear.
