Guardian teams up with New York Times for future Snowden GCHQ coverage

Re: Who provided them, since Snowden himself did not?

May be the Independent did some earlier spying on the Guardian (basement whatever)

I doubt it but the spin is possible.

PS:

Which film was it (Carry On?? ) where the servile thug picked up the phone and said in a Neanderthal voice "Intelligence here"

?
