Honestly, I'll all for it. But the article had nothing of substance. After a deluge of NSA/GCHQ/ASD/Canadian/NZ links lately, this is like saying, "They're spying on us". Sure, and I despise that, but what's the point of posting this until there is something of substance posted? Whet our tastes?
I find it more and more concerning that newspapers who receive these kinds of leaks decide to withhold most of them or only publish them in troves over a long period.
The effort required for publishing them is indubitably huge (blacking out names etc.), yet when publication is dependent on the economical impact (i.e. sales numbers of a print magazine, ad impressions, ...), the leak itself is simply being exploited.
