No, unfortunately I can't without further eroding someone's privacy if I'm right and if I'm right Wired is in the same position, which is part of why they can't really explain themselves to everyone's satisfaction.

As for disclosing ties, yeah, I agree they might have gotten a bit sloppy there, but reporters cultivate personal relationships with sources all the time. I don't necessarily see that as a dealbreaker. But it seems sloppy at worst.

I think they need to defend themselves from Greenwald's articles because he is making people hate them. Unfortunately to actually defend themselves would be to explain why they have to hold the information private, which they can't really do, without spoiling people's privacy.

I think we need to give Wired some trust on this one.
