Max Read · 07/03/13 11:33AMThe Washington Post Is a Bitter, Jealous Little Newspaper
Hamilton Nolan · 07/02/13 09:53AMThe Washington Post, the pre-Politico newsletter of choice for The Political Establishment, has the worst opinion section in America. Today, they once again prove why: the paper, which helped to break the NSA Prism spying story, editorializes that the U.S. government must stop Edward Snowden from leaking any more of that awful news.

Cord Jefferson · 07/01/13 06:02PMIs Spying Okay?
Hamilton Nolan · 07/01/13 02:19PMIn the aftermath of the revelations about the NSA's secret spying programs, there is plenty of anger to go around. American citizens are pissed that they were spied on. European governments are pissed that they were spied on. Nobody, it seems, is happy with being spied on. So why is spying such an accepted institution?

Cord Jefferson · 06/26/13 01:33PMSecrecy Is the Problem
Hamilton Nolan · 06/26/13 12:11PMSome people say that Edward Snowden is a hero because the secret NSA spying program that he exposed was ripe for abuse. Other people say Edward Snowden is a villain, because the program seemed to be well-run and lawful. Both of these positions are grounded in fantasy. Nobody knows whether the government's power was abused; it's a secret. That's the problem. That's the point.

Max Read · 06/24/13 02:32PMOn Sunday morning, Edward Snowden boarded an Aeroflot flight in Hong Kong, landing in Moscow more than 13 hours later. We think. The truth is, no one's quite sure where the NSA leaker is—Moscow? Havana? Quito? Reykjavik? (He's not on Aeroflot Flight 180, we know that much.) But we can reconstruct his movements—and speculate where he's headed.
