WikiLeaks’ methods questioned by whistleblower Edward Snowden

Former U.S. National Security Agency contractor, Edward Snowden, has censured WikiLeaks’ release of information without proper curation.

WikiLeaks shot back at Snowden that “opportunism won’t earn you a pardon from Clinton & curation is not censorship of ruling party cash flows.”
