Glenn Greenwald - Progressive or Liberaltarian?

[tabatha]

17. I thought he was supported Bush on the Iraq and Afghanistan wars.

"It is little known that Greenwald supported the Iraq War, and the war in Afghanistan before it. He does not mention it in writing anymore and rarely speaks of it. He supported the war for the same reason I did: he believed that Iraq possessed WMD and that the potential consequences of that possession could not be risked."

Obama did not support the Iraq war. Obama - plus, Greenwald - minus

Obama is pro civil liberties, against executive power.

Obama is not anti-war, but against wars that are stupid.

Obama is not for media corruption.

As for pro drug legalization - I would think that banning meth is just as important as removing mercury from air and water. Marijuana is a different matter - I would like to see it legalized, so that people could grow it in their homes instead of in national forests, and people who need it could have access to it.

As for the Cato Institute, they get some things right, but an awful lot wrong.
