You can't connect real things like these documents with slander by people who do nothing to step on the toes of the NSA. That is all that the BS about Assange or Appelbaum being a sex menace or Snowden being a Russian asset is. "Oh noes, they're a threat to the work we're not doing". Nobody is asking you to get drinks with Assange or Appelbaum. They don't want to be your friend. It's okay if you don't like them, for whatever personal reasons (and choosing to fall for this crap falls under personal reasons). It's not okay to be part of a mob that murders people by throwing a pebble each with this plausible deniability, in this "genuinely curious" just wondering kind of way. Enough is enough.
It certainly isn't fascinating. 3 letter agencies are torturing and murdering people, and having nothing better to do than gossip about gossip about messengers is just vulgar, boring, infantile cowardice, puffed up with not even clever words.
