Wow. Two remarkable paragraphs tucked away as the very last two paragraphs of an article on page A14 Saturday: "BuzzFeed reported Friday that The Guardian had shared with The New York Times a subset of the documents leaked by Mr. Snowden involving the British agency. Both The Guardian and The Times confirmed the report, with The Guardian saying that it had struck the partnership in part because the First Amendment provided greater press freedoms than those available in Britain. "The Times’s executive editor, Jill Abramson, said: “We don’t usually comment on our reporting before publication, but in this case we will make an exception since it is already public. The Times is reporting on material from The Guardian as well as other matters related to Edward Snowden.” SO the Guardian, faced with government efforts to suppress further revelations regarding Snowden and without the First Amendment to wave, has handed off information to the NYT. So interesting.
