That's how it happened.

And now I think what I'm trying to do is tell it as it is today.

And it's different.

Thanks.

Thanks for reading some of the book.

Okay.

Maybe a small portion of the book, whatever it might be.

Any word you read, I'm grateful for.

So as I mentioned in the book, and you haven't gotten there yet, but the first substantive meeting we had with him was about our coverage of national security matters.

So we had just come off the...

The Edward Snowden leaks, that was hugely controversial.

A lot of politicians and intelligence officials thought that we should have been prosecuted for that.

We in The Guardian at the time, we won a Pulitzer for that coverage.

But those were the most highly sensitive documents in the U.S.

government at the time.

But there was a significant intrusion into the private information of American citizens, and we felt that needed to be published.

And to this day, I believe it should have been.

So he asked for a meeting about what our standards were.

We told him what our standards were.

He said he thought that should be codified.
