Is it certain that these leaks actually came from Snowden? In light of the Independent's GCHQ story [1][2], it sounds like there may be State actors providing leaks in the name of Snowden that cast him in a negative light. Ideally, these news outlets would be able to confirm it's the real Snowden via GPG fingerprint or something.

- ianhawes 13y agoAh! Interesting angle. It could certainly be possible, and if it were I definitely wouldn't hold it against Snowden. In fact, the Der Spiegel article [1] fails to release the source document(s), so I'm fairly dubious about who provided this information.

- dlinder 13y agoThere's an English version of the article now, co-authored by Greenwald/Snowden-related journalist Laura Poitras. Looks like the Snowden connection is solid! http://www.spiegel.de/international/world/secret-nsa-documents-show-how-the-us-spies-on-europe-and-the-un-a-918625.html http://www.spiegel.de/international/world/secret-nsa-documen...
