Miranda and Greenwald are partners, I get that, and I reasoned that Snowden knew this and he favored Greenwald for the story. Amnesty International has a large bias in the manner they report Human rights abuses shown by omissions, and they favor gays. Because of this I suspected that Snowden may be gay and in the closet, and that is why I posted honest I really didn't know.
I may be wrong here, but it seemed to fit.
