I think this is great for branding. All you ever hear is negative stuff. They should publish more in their own name and on their own site.

The other day I wondered to myself what would happen if all of the secrets held by agencies like the CIA or MI6 were to be exposed, all at once. I doubt it would be bad for the likes of you or me.
