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.
