What’s the real story behind the Snowden leak? by Smartypants at Smartypants
We all know that Snowden went to work for Booz Allen in March 2013 for the express purpose of gaining access to classified information he planned to leak.
Initially we were told that Greenwald and Poitras first met Snowden in May 2013 in Hong Kong.
Greenwald then tweeted that he and Poitras had been working with Snowden since February 2013.
The NYT article today says that Snowden first contacted Greenwald in November/December 2012 and Poitras in January 2013.
The NYT also says that Greenwald and Poitras didn’t talk to each other about Snowden until April 2013.
Greenwald said he started getting documents from Snowden in late March, early April 2013. But he also says that Snowden took months to review the documents before releasing them. Snowden didn’t start working at Booz Allen until March 2013.
All these stories can’t be true. It seems clear to me that what we have here are some major omissions with people having trouble keeping their fabricated versions straight.
