> The whistleblower's revelations, obviously very serious and substantiated, have effectively been buried.

Unless I'm reading this very wrong, the "whistleblower" didn't blow the whistle in public, but rather privately reported that is superiors were talking too much to the press?

The people accused are at least big fans of secret deals with foreign intelligence agencies (I never understand how people can claim such a thing is compatible with democracy).

did we read the same article? the complaint was giving too much to the nsa. the press thing is the cover that happened later.

you are mixing the two exactly how the comment you replied to said danish media does.

Whose complaint? The whistleblower's? Then why are they prosecuting the spy chiefs instead of the whistleblower, and for being too friendly to the media rather than for being too friendly to the NSA?

Am I wrong that the spy chiefs are super-friendly to the NSA?

It's a bit odd if your pretext for persecuting someone is the exact opposite of the thing you actually want to punish them for.

Seriously, it's no wonder the media is confused.
