Edward Snowden To Participate In Online Q&A Today
National Security Agency leaker Edward Snowden on Monday will field questions submitted by readers on The Guardian's website, the newspaper announced.
The Q&A session is slated to begin at 11:00 a.m. ET.
It is the interview the world's media organisations have been chasing for more than a week, but instead Edward Snowden is giving Guardian readers the exclusive," the promotional article reads, urging readers to ask Snowden "anything."
The Guardian's Glenn Greenwald, who broke the stories based on Snowden's leaks, will assist with the online chat.

Maybe he's planning to release more "blockbusterish" stuff to further OMG-gate.
On another note, Glenn Greenwald keeps promising that there are more blockbusters to come that are even more blockbusterish than what he's revealed so far. Given that, it's probably wise for everyone to hold off on any final judgments for now. Let's wait a bit and see what he has for us.

Did he find the stains on the cafeteria menu written in code?
Anything is possible but I guess we'll see.
Snowden's Q&A should be interesting.
