It is hardly a leak of Glenn/Intercept keep them forever. That would go directly against what Cryptome has always believed. I would like to know how Snowden was connected to the people he eventually gave that information to, that in itself might prove interesting. It was not for their technical ability which does lead to the question how are they able to judge the suitability of what they release.

Snowden selected Greenwald and Poitras and reached out to them via email:

Do you think these were his 1st choices?

I have no idea, but the question was about "how he was connected" to the people he released the info to. The answer was: he wasn't until he made contact himself.

He must've made a list of journalists he knew of who he thought would be sympathetic to the message he wanted to send. Maybe Greenwald/Poitras weren't at the top of the list, but some quick Googling doesn't reveal anything about anyone else he may have tried to contact before them.
