14. I don't believe any of it.

The intelligence community will say anything to discredit these guys. Of that much I'm certain. The Intel Community is also not known for honesty with people outside the IC, or honesty period.

If they discovered this, they would have never released Miranda. He would have been arrested and arraigned, and Greenwald would have had to put up a few hundred thousand pounds to get him released.

If they discovered this, we would have heard this story within three days. It wouldn't be like them in this climate to wait until it's no longer news to come out with this.

No, I think it just took them this long to sift through everything they found, discover it was not much they could crack, and put together this lie about it.

Come on, show a little healthy skepticism, people. These are guys who lie to you for a living.
