This document is page 85 of a book (likely by Edward Jay Epstein, titled 'How America Lost Its Secrets') discussing the background of the Edward Snowden NSA leaks. It details how journalist Laura Poitras utilized technical expert Jacob Appelbaum to vet Snowden's technical bona fides via encrypted emails prior to the Hong Kong meetings. It also describes the editorial tensions at The Guardian, specifically Glenn Greenwald waiting for authorization from editor Janine Gibson to travel to Hong Kong.
