    Some nuance, but still a biased hit piece. Particularly ugly is when the author dismisses Glenn Greenwald's journalist status, which is beyond doubt, and designates him a mere digital-privacy activist.

    The Economist have a history of publishing polarising articles, for and against, regarding Snowden. This book review is likely the work of Edward Lucas (TE's Energy Editor) who has himself written a book alleging Snowden has ties to the FSB (Russian intelligence, formerly the KGB).
