Not sure why Snowden & friends are releasing this, as it is the traditional purpose of spying [and the one that virtually everybody but the people who actually do the spying think of].

"According to reports in the Argentine media, Britain was concerned that Argentina could launch another attempt to reclaim the Falkland Islands"

    Well, it does say "Snowden & friends", but point taken. Snowden just turned the material over in bulk, and others are the ones deciding what gets published when.

    Maybe they decided to publish it when they realized how little of this 'kind' of spying was actually going on.
