Do you think it was planned by the NSA?

I don't, but then anything is possible. They could have invented Snowden in response to a credible threat from someone else that was planning to leak this or other even more sensitive materials. Anybody making similar disclosures today would have a tough time getting any attention because the Snowden story drew so little public outrage.

The Snowden story got huge traction. It will be the biggest story of 2013.

Zimmerman story was bigger, I'd say. Maybe Paula Deen too.

Zimmerman perhaps. We're still not out of that story yet so it may grow bigger with protests, etc., but it's still a US centric story. Deen even more so,

Snowden has gotten a lot more international coverage.

To back that up from across the pond: the PRISM/Snowden story has been major news in the UK. Zimmerman was headline news, but only for a day or two, and I don't know who Paula Deen is.
