Apologists for the government and spy agencies will (are) spinning his admission back around on him to basically say, "Then why give any of this information to journalists at all?"
And, in doing so, they are once again misleading the public. They are willfully ignoring what he didn't say in order to spin this as some sort of vindication for their willfully ignoring our constitution so they can spy on all of us with no oversight. He didn't say, "I would have reported less because some of what was reported lacked journalistic merit." He recognized that he needed outsiders (journalists) to make the decision of what to report and what to hold on to because he was too close to it all./div>
I don't think he's trying to fool anyone, least of all any visitors here. He could care less what any visitors here think of him.
His tactics are the very definition of childish and trollish, despite his claim to the contrary. His communication style centers around circular arguments and verbal abuse. You can get nothing else out of him because he has nothing else to give.
Dealing with AJ is like being caught in a briar bush. The more you fight and struggle against it, the more likely you are to become further ensnared by it./div>

Can we just get it over with and fast forward to the point where you just make barnyard animal noises?
You only have two modes of operation here. Abusive troll. Or, retarded troll pretending to be a cow or a chicken./div>
