      @ggreenwald What I don't get is why Snowden didn't release this (& all info he has on gov't. abuses) sooner

      @this_nick He released everything to us in June - it takes a long time to go through it, understand it, report it, as he wanted us to do.

    @ggreenwald Ongoing NSA-revelations vital. Danger is that we become inured to them. The worse the abuse, the more apathetic our reaction.

      @isabell08481837 @ggreenwald or we could all learn to live in peace and dismantle the security apparatus. Sad how impossible that sounds!

    @ggreenwald @jeremyscahill I would have appreciated to read this story a few month earlier :/ The interest is decreasing, and this is heavy.

      "Hacked into SIM cards." Big deal in 2004 maybe!! Only a rare terrorist and drug dealer using SIM cards now. @ggreenwald @wheelertweets

      SIM cards were exploited long ago by average hackers. Most have become obsolete. @ec14u2 @ggreenwald @wheelertweets

      @NullNode @ggreenwald in real countries they sell SIM cards at any 7-11, street stalls, corner shops and 3G dongles at any computer mall.

      @thegrugq_ebooks @NullNode How do you judge who is good? Is it because I don't have firecrackers for Lunar New Year?
