Just wonderful - another leaker

From Business Insider:

The Government Believes There's A New Edward Snowden
On Tuesday, The Intercept, Glenn Greenwald's journalism startup launched with the backing of eBay founder Pierre Omidyar, published a major reporton the composition of the U.S. government's terrorist watch list.

According to CNN, this has convinced the U.S. government there is a new leaker within its ranks — a second Edward Snowden-type with access to closely held national security secrets and the intention to make them public.

If the CNN report is true, the U.S. government is convinced the leaks that appeared on The Intercept include information that post-dates whatever Snowden once had access to. It also validates earlier speculation that there is an additional well-positioned leaker of national security secrets.

As U.S. News and World Report recounted in early July, there was abundant evidence that NSA-related leaks appearing in two German newspapers did not seem to come from Snowden's cache of documents. Greenwald responded to the revelations by tweeting that it "seems clear" there's a second leaker within the U.S.' national security apparatus.

Now, that tweet looks like evidence Greenwald is indeed sitting on documents totally independent from the Snowden leaks. The U.S. government reportedly believes this to be the case.

Unknown at the moment is who might be doing the leaking, and how much that person has handed over.

Heh - I love it! There is a big difference between what that little putz Bradley Manning did and what Snowden and this new moke are doing.

Manning just blatted out whatever he could gather resulting in the torture and deaths of over 50 of our people (and their families probably) in the middle east.

Snowden and this new leaker have been carefully redacting the information and are releasing - to use a term - the metadata. What the government is doing not names and places. This is a very good thing - there are some corners that need the harsh light of day.
