From "Free Speech Radio News: "NSA leaker Edward Snowden is accusing the British government of intentionally releasing highly-sensitive information to a UK newspaper in order to bolster claims that Snowden’s work with the press is causing harm. The Independent published a story this morning disclosing the existence of a “secret internet-monitoring station in the Middle East.” The paper cites their source as Snowden’s leaked documents. But Snowden says he has never worked with The Independent. In the Guardian newspaper, Glenn Greenwald, the journalist Snowden has been working with, published Snowden’s response and a response of his own. Greenwald wrote the information published in The Independent is “the type of disclosure which journalists working directly with NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden have thus far avoided.”"
