I hate to do this but I feel obligated to share, as the story unfolds, my creeping concern that the NSA leaker is not who he purports to be, and that the motivations involved in the story may be more complex than they appear to be. This is in no way to detract from the great courage of Glenn Greenwald in reporting the story, and the gutsiness of the Guardian in showcasing this kind of reporting, which is a service to America that US media is not performing at all. It is just to raise some cautions as the story unfolds, and to raise some questions about how it is unfolding, based on my experience with high-level political messaging.

Some of Snowden’s emphases seem to serve an intelligence/police state objective, rather than to challenge them....

blog post, but my AVG picked up a "threat" called "Exploit Blackhole Exploit Kit (type 2602). AVG rated this as a high severity threat.

I would not want to take a side as far as who is responsible for the bullshittiness, could be all of them anyway, but the smell I recognize.
