The guardian have always been open about not publishing operational details. Those black slides in the prism ppt were redacted by the guardian, not by the NSA.

Whether or not this means they "agreed to government demands" is a boring matter of semantics if they were going to do it anyway.

I'd say its the Guardian being responsible. The idea is to hold government to account, not risk people on the ground.

Exactly, and the fact they've continued publishing despite the DA-notice [1][2] is sign enough that they are in no way interested in rolling over.
