Sunday Times Snowden Saga: Journalist Admits to CNN He Has No Clue
A report in the Sunday Times, alleging British operatives were put at risk from information obtained from Edward Snowden’s cache of leaked documents, is being torn to pieces as the worst kind of journalism in the service of government fear-mongering.
Reporter Tom Harper’s defense of his piece in a television interview has further stoked the fires of criticism.
The article (which is behind a paywall, though the full text has been posted here) cited unnamed government sources at Downing Street and the Home Office to assert that Russian and Chinese intelligence services had hacked into a “top-secret cache of files” leaked by former US National Security Agency contractor Edward Snowden.
