Meanwhile David Cameron wants a select committee to investigate them.

Snowden himself now seems to be in the care of Wikileaks’ Sarah Harrison, who is acting as his legal advisor. There was [[http://rt.com/news/rt-whistleblowers-snowden-prize-983/|a slightly odd press…

Snowden placed himself in the jurisdiction first of the People's Repubic of China then of the Russian Federation. I'm not going to say either "unstable" or "unreliable", but ever since the story broke I've been wondering about those two decisions.... something smells…

Go you good thing :-)

I do appreciate your passion. But insinuating I am because I disagree is a bit low.

I think that you may wish to consider what power government agencies across the globe have to discredit individuals before…

Oh, fuck off Don.

If Wikileaks has never…

Which is a libel to Wikileaks and the work they had carried out for many years. And the fact that you can make that sort of statement…

And the idea going around in certain quarters that Rusbridger (silent H, Ian :) ), was going to crumple at the first hint of an injunction if Greenwald didn't insist? It's a long read, but I'd…

But Xero is investing towards a very clear revenue model.…

Which is not, I feel obliged to note, the reasoning he actually offered himself.

I love this quote on many levels, including Rusbridger's broad…

I do think the general approach being taken to Greenwald is a reflection of a meme being perpetuated by the US government.

I still struggle to see what your point about the timing decision is or…

NOT I AM NOT. Dammit Don, I’m…

OK, Don, it's an irrelevant side show that has nothing to do with journalism. Just like the "personality" of Daily Mail editor Paul Dacre, who's still defending…

FFS, Don... Unless Rushbridger is a big fat liar, the 'personalities' are relevant here when an editor of a major newspaper went to press with a story…

For that exact reason, I'm using the subscription option on the Guardian's Android app, even though I use…

This seems deliberate and exactly what our…

(Before you ask: No, you're not stoned. No, I don't know what the fuck I just saw. No, you can't have cookies for breakfast.)

Here's my problem with "tighter stories"…

He even got Ian Katz, the Editor of Newsnight, responding. Still wasn't impressed.

Yes, that's the one embedded in the post. Terrible work by Kirsty Wark.

Perhaps, but that's really easy to say when you're not the one who has…

Oh, Phil. I'm hearing you. There have been so…

Gee, who could run such a thing?

easier to report the game than the substance

That refers specifically to the GCHQ revelations, which followed the original NSA reports.

Greenwald…

The group made $48mln in EBITA and assets increased by $28mln, so I doubt they are going to hit the buffers imminently.

I mean, if you can get 2/3 of the story out, even imperfectly, before the injunction becomes available as a weapon,…

I must admit to being completely flummoxed by…

I had not realised that — but, yes, from the Endemol UK article:

The company originated from Peter Bazalgette's sale of his television company to the Guardian Media Group (GMG) in 1990. In 1998, Endemol acquired a 50% stake…

I suspect that the loss of advertising from a paywall would outweigh any revenue, and the influence…

Thank you! Nice Gravatar you have there.

In Britain, I don't think it would have made sense to tip off the government for just that reason. I'm more thinking of the benefits of knuckling…

No, not really. If that injunction had come down anyway, and all Rushbridger had on the record was those pretty weak initial stories what "purpose" would have…

It does make some sense, when viewed in light of this line from the Auletta piece:

Heywood had learned about the most recent revelation when Guardian reporters called British authorities for comment; he warned Rusbridger that the…

Yeah, and I still wish Rushbridger had told Greenwald "publish elsewhere and be damned then." I know letting a massive scoop walk out the door goes against every instinct in a good newspaper editor's body (and Rushbridger's…
