Yeah, Assange can go get stuffed. He has lost all credibility with this drips and drabs bullshit in an attempt to keep himself some kind of "celebrity".

Release it and let people figure it out or shut the fuck up.

Snowden is a hero. Assange is an asshat.

Snowden coordinated with Greenwald et al. for years on their "drips and drabs" strategy. Rightly so! The point of leaking is to have a political effect. Those effects are multiplied when leaks are well-timed. I'm glad, because had the leaks that have many people most upset not been so effective, USA would probably be at war in Syria right now.

Funny that the snowden leaked document have been released drips and drabs to the point that only a portion has been made public yet but for some reason you fail to take it into account.

Also Assange would be Poitras/Greenwald here not Snowden.
