Why is Glen Greenwald's name popping up all over the board tonight?

100. The majority of Democrats knew he worked for the Cato Institute?

I certainly didn't, and I think it's extremely relevant.

I certainly didn't know that he was for the Iraq war and actually believed right wing lies. That alone is enough for me to forever judge his credibility, if he couldn't scrutinize Bush when the country was having a progressive crisis how could be be trusted to do it when we have a remote bit of power? Progressives were thrown under the bus over "patriotism," remember "freedom fries" and the swiftboating? It was harsh. At least now we're making a comeback with OWS, but then we were shit on every which way but loose. All the more reason to scrutinize right wing lies.

I don't read pundits books, I actually don't take much stock in pundits because they like to drive the narrative to get hits on their corporate owned websites. Pundits are the last people I look to for information.

I actually wish I never knew he was for the Iraq war because that is a very emotional issue for me. I do not trust those who say that they were for the Iraq war. There was no rational reason to be for it. It was purely irrational warmongering by the American public, and a shameful point in our history.
