[font size=5]What Happened to Glenn Greenwald's Big Scoop? [/font]
Adam Weinstein
Something big is brewing in NSA Revelation Land—a scoop from columnist and reporter Glenn Greenwald that was supposed to be published at midnight last night. But now Glenn Greenwald and fellow Intercept reporter Murtaza Hussein have delayed their story, pending new government information, and the internet is freaking out. ....
That hint sent the webs atwitter, especially since the NSA-centric Intercept—a fledgling media startup that's published in fits and starts—hasn't put out a new story since June 18.
Tinfoil hatters—both pro- and anti-Greenwald—let loose.
But then, something strange happened: Greenwald put the brakes on the story, ostensibly because some new reporting was necessary: ....
But it's unclear whether that's the story that was supposed to come last night, and it's also unclear what government claims might have required further investigation. Those claims may have been made directly to the Intercept, since the only government response to Snowden's activities in recent days have been a deflection of new surveillance details released by the Washington Post and rumors about Snowden's cloak-and-dagger activities before hooking up with Greenwald and fellow journalist Laura Poitras in Hong Kong last year. ....
Can't wait till the Infowars folks get hold of—oh, never mind.
