The Rest Is Classified
45. The Leak That Changed The World: America Exposed (Ep 3)

And I think there is a bit of nervousness at the Guardian, I think, at this point, about him and his motivation, whether he's for real. This manifesto, I think, also makes them even more nervous.

It's pretty good. By the way, audience members can email in with what they think David's name could or should be. Anyway, you can guess it. Or if you know it, even better.

Who hasn't embellished their CV a little bit? So again, he's just totally- Listen, he's trying to convince them. He's sitting on a stack of top secret documents. But that's all he needs. Yeah, yeah.

Okay, so this meeting takes place at the Guardian and they're convinced enough to send Glenn Greenwald and to go with Laura Poitras. Interestingly enough, they also send Ewan McCaskill to go with them. And full disclosure... Ewan was my kind of counterpart, the Guardian, when I was at the BBC. I know him well, I've spoken to him. And a very smart choice. And I would say that, wouldn't I?

But I think it is true. He's a kind of veteran, serious journalist who knows a good story and knows how to pursue a story, won't be intimidated off it. But who is clearly there, I think, you can read between the lines, to kind of slightly babysit the other two and kind of keep the kind of rigorous journalism side on track on this. And he's going to go out with them.
