it's interesting that you ask that today of all days - the way the news cycle works, today is the last day to drop a big story to affect the US midterm elections. Greenwald promised Snowden that he would publish to maximize political impact (to effect the most change) and an October surprise was strongly hinted at. There's nothing of great surprise on The Intercept today - some decent confirmatory stories but nothing politically destabilizing.
Many people have been of the mind "Greenwald's got this" but it seems now that they've gotten to him. Not to diminish the work he's done in any way but apparently he's passed the torch and forgot to tell anyone - well, I guess as of today he has through silence. If Greenwald (as Snowden's advocate) is done, that changes the political landscape for many currently observing the consuming power structure.
