«Intelligence officials asked the Guardian, New York Times and ProPublica not to publish this article, saying that it might prompt foreign targets to switch to new forms of encryption or communications that would be harder to collect or read.The three organisations removed some specific facts but decided to publish the story because of the value of a public debate about government actions that weaken the most powerful tools for protecting the privacy of internet users in the US and worldwide»

I'm still taking some solace from this quote:

And I'm not buying a message that "fixed" an older one without a signature from the same source. What if the "s/all/most" comment was inserted by a 3rd party? ;-)
