Glenn Greenwald reports that the UK government is now leaking documents about itself. Good, right? Well, wrong. It's all just a scheme to make Greenwald and Snowden look like terrorists. Glenn Greenwald says: "The US government itself has constantly used this tactic: aggressively targeting those who disclose embarrassing or incriminating information about the government in the name of protecting the sanctity of classified information, while simultaneously leaking classified information prolifically when doing so advances their political interests." Just like the US government did when it leaked top-secret info on the raid on Osama bin Laden to Hollywood just so they can make some movies about it.
