When it comes to the "shock" inspired by the recent National Security Agency revelations, the worst is yet to come, said Guardian journalist Glenn Greenwald, who has been working with NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden on the leaks.
"There are a lot more stories," Greenwald told a large crowd at the Global Investigative Journalism Conference currently taking place in Rio de Janeiro. "The archives are so complex and so deep and so shocking, that I think the most shocking and significant stories are the ones we are still working on, and have yet to publish."
The new stories, Greenwald said, should be expected in international media in the coming months. The first will include details of U.S. spying in France and Spain, similar to revelations of U.S. spying in Brazil that has angered the Brazilian government and set off a chain of tense exchanges between the two.
Greenwald also noted that he is in daily contact with Edward Snowden, as well as with the Berlin-based U.S. filmmaker Laura Poitras, who has been working with him on the NSA stories. Together they are carefully sifting through the "thousands and thousands" of NSA documents yet to shock the world, said Greenwald.
"We are undertaking high-risk journalism. We shall continue doing so until we publish the last document I have," Greenwald recently told a Brazilian congressional panel investigating the allegations that Washington spied on Brazil.

It smells like another wikileaks, where so much is promised but we are left waiting.
Some more slides of things we already know were happening will be released, lol.
Shocking? How about taking on the CIA? Didn't the Snowman work there too? Seems no one knows anything about them? Aren't they busy working hard for their country?
We've been spying since the early 1900's. A department was officially formed under that traitor of a President, Wilson, by George Creel.
This isn't even "A limited hangout..."
As FDR once said, nothing major happens in this country unless the government wants you to know about it (or something like that) ...
