So the sources of these claims are the exact same people who are a significant part of the mass surveillance which Snowden exposed. There is some substantially flawed journalism going on here.
Also, in other news, apparently China and Russia are allies now. Or did they just happen to simultaneously crack these files on the exact same day?
- cm2187 11y agoWhat I always found curious is how did Snowden (or anyone) could think that the newspapers could keep all the intelligence agencies of the world away from these files. Journalists are usually the type who switch off the monitor to turn off a PC.
- glimmung 11y agoYes, the scattergun "Russia and China" line seems to be over-egging it a bit.

- jester17 11y agoMy guess it has more to do with the recent hacking of the U.S. Personnel files that contain lists of those with top secret clearance but it is politically advantageous to blame snowden instead of lax government security.
