Probably the NYTimes insisted on context and he did not like that. randome Jun 2014 #131

I think that is probably what will happen. NCTraveler Jun 2014 #158

Huh? This makes no sense. Why wouldn't he publish on The Intercept? Luminous Animal Jun 2014 #173

I don't understand either, and why would he be writing for the New York Times? Dragonfli Jun 2014 #178

He hasn't shared one byline with the Times. I don't see why he'd start now. Luminous Animal Jun 2014 #180

I think it is time to consider whether the confusion is genuine or feigned for some purpose Dragonfli Jun 2014 #183

Not a Greenwald fan and especially after seeing him ON Bill Mahrer. He comes across as mfcorey1 Jun 2014 #124

I am more interested in the information he will release in the forthcoming article Dragonfli Jun 2014 #132

No, we are supposed to examine leaked documents and that's about it, they actually do exist. /nt Dragonfli Jun 2014 #170

The leaked documents are the proof, the reality of it can't be more clear Dragonfli Jun 2014 #192

There wont be any "leaked documents" in this context there will be "stories". I've already quoted uponit7771 Jun 2014 #193

I fully expect the article to be sourced, so I expect something different Dragonfli Jun 2014 #196

so you've already seen the documents? grasswire Jun 2014 #179

From the OP... Snowden wont be giving "documents" he'll be giving "stories" quote inside uponit7771 Jun 2014 #190

Snowden doesn't have any documents to give and Greenwald has posted supporting documents with Luminous Animal Jun 2014 #201
