Absent a some specific document or confession on the part of Snowden or retraction by Greenwald and/or the Gaurdian, proving that Snowden is or is not a manufactured leaker is not going to happen. The analysis by skeptics takes the form of asking why "that dog won't hunt." Scott Creighton's original pieces were like Yosemite Sam (cartoon character) blasting away with his shotgun. Naomi Wolf made a better case, once again around oddities, and only just less weak. Webster Tarpley provides outstanding context for what to look for arranged leak and says Snowden fits the pattern. All of this is like cosmologists providing evidence for how they think a black hole's environment will behave.
Creighton's blog post today is outstanding. It is actually a tightly reasoned piece -- no Yosemite Sam shotgun patterns. Snowden's leak provides the context for the government to "have that conversation" about the balance between security and privacy. CISPA will be the result.
It is well worth the read. Is it case closed? Hardly. Admittedly, his analysis is still looking for the signature of the black hole, so to speak. But he just might have found it.
