An avalanche of new Snowden documents will go online next week


Way to bury the lede, Glenn Greenwald! Scroll to the bottom of this blistering response to recent remarks by just-retired NSA chief Keith Alexander, and you'll find some very interesting news indeed. Greenwald, who recently won the Pulitzer Prize for his coverage of Edward Snowden's NSA surveillance revelations, says he plans to publish previously unpublished NSA documents online next Tuesday, May 13th, with free access. The timing, it should be known, is not a coincidence: Greenwald's book, No Place to Hide , comes out that day. In fact, the documents that will go online next week are ones he mentions in the book, but which weren't previously reported in the media. So, if you were expecting the entire trove to go public (and even Snowden has previously advised against that), you might still be disappointed. But if you've been following this Edward Snowden-NSA-Big Brother saga closely and have an appetite for even more revelations, you'll want to mark your calendars (and pre-order Greenwald's book, if we're reading correctly between the lines).
