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..
