Responses:

They won't retract. In fact, I expect they hurried to publish (once they had confirmation) after learning of her Saturday arrest -- nm - ty97 Jun 5, 15:15 6
- Well, that makes things interesting. -- nm - David's iPad Jun 5, 15:17 5
  - I'm guessing here of course, but they wouldn't publish without confirmation. And news doesn't retract if their source is busted. - ty97 Jun 5, 15:26 4
    - Your IM is what makes the whole thing so interesting. - David's iPad Jun 5, 15:32 3
      - With the arrest known, the presence of OpSec activities known, I'm guessing The Intercept went to a trusted source for confirmation - ty97 Jun 5, 15:34 1
        
        I like the potential knottiness of this - the intercept's story from earlier this year about wikileaks disclosing the cia's use of false flags - b. Jun 5, 15:41
      - otoh, Reality Winner sounds like an operation's code name. -- nm - crash davis Jun 5, 15:33
what would they be retracting? -- nm - b. Jun 5, 14:58 2
- If it's OpSec, the information could be totally fake. It could also be 100% accurate. - David Jun 5, 15:01 1
  - ah, missed that. the story looks to be the same as it was when I skimmed it earlier, fwiw. -- nm - b. Jun 5, 15:02
