The first thing you’ll notice in reading the 1,400 word manifesto is that Doe is eloquent. Like Snowden and a few others from the society of modern whistleblowing, Doe writes beautifully, passionately, and intelligently about their motives. They have clearly spent a lot of time thinking about the information they had access to, and what it meant for the world, and what it would mean for them to come forward with it, risking everything.
Alternatively, maybe Doe realized that a statement of this magnitude probably warranted the services of a paid, professional editor – if for no other reason than to potentially elude linguistic analysis (as suggested by @roomwithaview ) ?
Curious to note that he’s pleased with the journalistic coverage, as some have criticized those handling the papers as being notably uncritical of the Western institutions that pay their bills, indirectly or otherwise.
