This article is straight up government-narrative propaganda meant to steer and dilute.

- Of course there is SIGINT going on in the Middle East.

- But "exposing" this will be seen as indiscriminately aiding "enemies".

- Once again driving the focus on Snowden, calling it his controversy, referencing him in the title, etc.

- Mention "terrorism" investigation with regards to Miranda, even though he's not being held in custody.

- But even more super scary secret files were confiscated, so don't worry, the government is keeping you safe by thwarting these people

- Imply Greenwald now has a personal mission to cause as much damage as possible to all the good people hold dear.
