I really doubt any of the Snowden 'revelations' are news to the Russians. Their intelligence and electronic intelligence agencies know ALL about all this..... Second, I have no reason to believe Snowden chose to nor was coerced into telling the Russians what they already knew...they didn't need the nice Powerpoint presentations - they knew of the programs and likely have their own that are similar. This is pure political theater, and Snowden, always an expendable pawn in this game, may be in a [more] dangerous position now....despite the nice 'amnesty' lip service. Greenwald has been silent the last days on all this.....instead he has published a few interesting [on their own merit] articles about Danish complicity with the NSA.
