(116,464 posts)"Greenwald had no powerful platform to promote the war...Klein did. Greenwald passively trusted the government, Klein actively supported the government. Greenwald evolved and wrote "How Would A Patriot Act." That is, he came to understand that he was on the wrong track. He grew and learned as a human being. Similar to some well respected ex-Republican DUers. And hell, some of those ex-Republican DUers even voted for Bush! Even Greenwald didn't do that!"
So Klein's support for the war was different from Greenwald's support for the war, but now that Greenwald has a platform he's the same as a DUer? Why are you talking about people who voted for Bush? Did Klein? What the hell does that have to do with supporting the Iraq war, "which resulted in the deaths of hundreds of thousands of human beings"?
Greenwald:
"I had not abandoned my trust in the Bush administration... I wanted the president to succeed, because my loyalty is to my country and he was the leader of my country... I believed then that the president was entitled to have his national security judgment "
