If they didn't release everything there'd be no basis to trust them. We wouldn't be able to determine what was being withheld and how it was being sculpted.

- TeMPOraL 12y agoSo on what basis do we trust Snowden leaks? The Guradian releases whatever parts they want to, whenever it pleases them.
- Glyptodon 12y agoTrusting the Guardian is different than trusting Snowden. He understood that if he tried to cherry pick too much it would undermine his cause by making it about a program instead of about the bigger picture. I don't think the Guardian equates to Wikileaks, in any case.
