I understand that dumping everything at once would probably be a bad idea but the tweeting of teasers? If it's really going to be such a big deal it should be treated with respect.

edit: Hopefully this will come out on Monday, start of the week is always a good time to release stuff that you want eyeballs on.

Greenwald is getting a lot of hate mail via Twitter. I don't blame him for the teasers who are usually aimed at people who are doubting him. If he dumped all the data at once, the story would blow over way faster. It's also been helpful that other people have came semi forward, such as the Democratic congresswoman from California who basically pleaded for someone to leak for information because it's that bad. This strategy also makes it easier to catch the U.S. government and company telling lies and contradictions. Also, it's way harder to run damage control when you don't know what information the other side has.
