CNN posted a story a few minutes ago about Edward Snowden's open letter to Brazilians and tweeted link with this message: "Edward Snowden offers to spy on the US & help Brazil investigate NSA surveillance."

After criticism from others on Twitter--Glenn Greenwald wrote, "Dear CNN: even for you, this is so remarkably reckless and false that it's shocking"--it quickly deleted it and changed to: "#NSA leaker Edward Snowden is offering to help investigate U.S. surveillance of Brazilian citizens. http://cnn.it/1gDquSb
