	The staged release may be a good idea, but have they got the timing right? 

	this article is dated June 6 

	http://www.theguardian.com/world/2013/jun/06/nsa-phone-records-verizon-court-order

	that was 4 months ago. How many articles have they published since then?
Actually, if the assumption is that people have a short attention span,
then they should be publishing interesting stuff as frequently as possible?

deserves recognition.
