1. The message, from multiple messengers, is diverse.

2. There are people who'd like to see The Intercept shut down. Any excuse will serve a tyrant, as Aesop noted, some time ago. http://www.bartleby.com/17/1/2.html

3. My own view is very much "this was a massive fuck-up on the part of The Intercept, who have staff with opsec talent (Micah Lee) on board for specifically this purpose, and I hope to see a post-mortem on the situation, how the Intercept failed, and what it plans to change in future."

I'd pay close attention, for now, in #2, though.
