Offsite: Why Did Omidyar Shut Down The Intercepts Snowden Archive?, September 23, 2019

https://washingtonbabylon.com/why-did-omidyar-shut-down-the-intercepts-snowden-archive/

18 November 2016. Add 59 pages to The Intercept. Tally now *7,361 pages of The Guardian first reported 58,000 7files; caveat: Janine Gibson, The Guardian NY, said on 30 January 2014 "much more than 58,000 files in first part, two more parts" (no numbers) (tally about ~11.5%). DoD claims 1,700,000 files (~.04% of that released). ACLU lists 525 pages released by the press. However, if as The Washington Post reported, a minimum of 250,000 pages are in the Snowden files, then less than 1% have been released. Note Greenwald claim on 13 September 2014 of having "hundreds of thousands" of documents.

7 September 2016. Add 102 pages to The Intercept.

19 August 2016. Add 6 pages to The Intercept.

16 May 2016. Kudos, at last: The Intercept is broadening access to the Snowden archive. Heres why: by Glenn Greenwald

14 May 2016. Add 4 pages to The Intercept.

16 February 2016

10 February 2016. Add 99 pages to Boing Boing (released 2 February 2016). Tally now *6,318 pages of The Guardian first reported 58,000 files; caveat: Janine Gibson, The Guardian NY, said on 30 January 2014 "much more than 58,000 files in first part, two more parts" (no numbers) (tally about ~10.6%). DoD claims 1,700,000 files (~.04% of that released). ACLU lists 525 pages released by the press. However, if as The Washington Post reported, a minimum of 250,000 pages are in the Snowden files, then less than 1% have been released. Note Greenwald claim on 13 September 2014 of having "hundreds of thousands" of documents. At Snowden current rate it will take 20-620 years to free all documents.

Saw your tweet re: sources for Snowden docs. I've compiled all the relevant Canadian documents, along with summary information of the documents'contents along with indexing information, here: https://www.christopher-parsons.com/writings/cse-summaries/ In the coming months I'm hoping to have equivalent summaries for Australia and New Zealand (and will then be moving on to do similar summary work for US- and UK-based documents).

21 May 2015. Edward Snowden was quoted in Forbes on May 10, 2015:

http://www.forbes.com/sites/runasandvik/2015/05/10/what-edward-snowden-said-at-the-nordic-media-festival/2/

"What I did was that I worked in partnership with the journalists who received the material. As a condition of receiving the material they agreed, prior to publication, to run these stories by the government. Not for the government to censor them, but for the government to be able to look at these and go look, this isnt going to get anybody killed, this isnt going to put a human agent behind enemy lines at risk or something like that. This isnt going to make Al Qaeda be able to bomb buildings. And I think the value of this model has been proven to be quite effective."

This indicates all stories about document releases have been "run-by governments prior to publication." Cryptome has filed an FOIA request to NSA for records of these "run-bys."

11 July 2014. @PaulMD notes this claim in the Washington Post, 11 July 2014:

We did not have an official NSA list of targets. We had to find them in the pile ourselves. Soltani, an independent researcher, did most of the heavy lifting on that. Because the information was not laid out in rows and columns, the way it might be in a spreadsheet, Soltani wrote computer code to extract what we were looking for from something like a quarter-million pages of unstructured text.

If a minimum of 250,000 pages are in the Snowden files, then less than 1% have been released.

We've yet to see the full impact of former National Security Agency contractor Edward Snowden's unauthorized downloading of highly classified intelligence documents.

Among the roughly 1.7 million documents he walked away with -- the vast majority of which have not been made public -- are highly sensitive, specific intelligence reports, as well as current and historic requirements the White House has given the agency to guide its collection activities, according to a senior government official with knowledge of the situation.

The latter category involves about 2,000 unique taskings that can run to 20 pages each and give reasons for selective targeting to NSA collectors and analysts. These orders alone may run 31,500 pages.

13 December 2013. Add 26 pages to Trojkan (SVT). Tally now 797 pages (~1.4%) of reported 58,000. NSA head claims 200,000 (~.40% of that released). Australia press reports "up to 20,000 Aussie files."

Rate of release over 6 months, 132.8 pages per month, equals 436 months to release 58,000, or 36.3 years. Thus the period of release has decreased in the past month from 42 years.

12 December 2013. Belatedly add 27 pages to Guardian and 18 pages to Washington Post.

26 Years to Release Snowden Docs by The Guardian

Out of reported 15,000 pages, The Guardian has published 192 pages in fourteen releases over four months, an average of 48 pages per month, or 1.28% of the total. At this rate it will take 26 years for full release.
