I found the story about the encryption
negotiation between her and Snowden to be fascinating. It's also
interesting how independent they (Poitras and Greenwald) seem to
be from the Guardian. It's hard to imagine most journalists would
have the technological judo to make it work before being found out
and slapped down. But that's the our world now. It sure sounds
like she's got nerves of steel.. I find the argument "we can
document this" to be a perfectly acceptable reason for a
journalist to take a position -- once truth is established, ask
the next question..
