The Independent also said that Snowden had downloaded pretty much all of an internal GCHQ wiki. There has to be lots of source-and-methods info in there, and Snowden himself has so far chosen to leak none of it.
Given that, the weasel-worded "among the documents" framing, which specifically avoids saying that that's where they got the documents, really does stick out.
- malandrew 13y agoWhat I don't get it what obligation Snowden has to the GCHQ. Being responsible with the NSA information makes sense since the NSA was his employer and at one time may have represented the welfare of his fellow citizens, but all the information from the other of the 5 Eyes I imagine he, Glenn and Laura could be much more liberal with the reporting. I'm sure there are downsides to such a tactic, but it seems that at the very least it would make all the rest of the 5 Eyes look bad enough that those other nations in the future would be a lot more conservative with respect to how much they cooperate with the NSA. At the end of the day, only the US and the UK have been actual terror targets. I really don't get what the politicians of the other 3 of the 5 Eyes are getting out of the deal that makes involvement worth their while.
