WaPo Misread Powerpoint- Story on Feds tapping directly into internet companies was wrong & rushed

150. I give up.

I don't see any "completely accurate" support for what GG said in his comments. The guy makes some claims, but he spends most of the time talking about how he's right and everyone else is wrong.

Not seeing might just mean you should look closer. Really, 99% of people who were faced with the same constant level of idiotic, lowdown attacks by total hypocrites, would sound just like he does, but not everyone would provide the devastating information that proves he's right. He talks about how he's right because he's been right since at least 2006. He keeps talking about it because it's been clear as pure water, and he sounds like he has a persecution complex because he's received the most vicious attacks from the people he should have been supporting him but who turned into hypocrites when Obama was elected. He has to the complete, total right to fight back against it and to never stop reminding people of this, and never stop pointing it out until he's not under attack anymore.

He plays the "I don't want to live in a world where...." card, and I have to wonder if he's either a double agent or thinking this will produce an international version of "suicide by cop."

Now I'm losing minimal respect for you. He's not self-destructing. Your "suicide by cop" is the stupidest Orwellian doublespeak excuse for the intelligence establishment and it's duped cadres of useful idiots that I've ever seen anybody on this board give. Then you said this,

"He's self-destructing, when he didn't have to go that way. He could have gone to the chair/ranking at either one of the Intel Committees, and aired his gripes. If there were any surprises, his concerns would have been addressed."

Here are your assumptions: 1) They would speak to him? 2) They would tell him the truth? 3) They would do anything? 4) They wouldn't put him on a watch list? 5) They would not make him disappear now or later as the President has claimed the right to do?

You don't understand the basics of what's going on here. Our government is violating the Bill of Rights, the supreme law of the land. Anybody in Congress can see what's written in the 4th Amendment. If they are going to ignore the clear words written there, they are not going to listen to anybody's "gripes." We're beyond where complaints made politely and properly are going to persuade anybody in power.

His articles have all been about this: the system's broken; it's not working. You suggest that Greenwald must pretend that it's working until it does? Your computer's broken, do you pretend that it works until it does?

Now I know why you despise Greenwald. You have the opposite mental illness as paranoia. Absolutely nothing alerts you, and you hate being warned.Paranoia might be in mental illness, but in nature, a paranoid person would survive much longer than you would.

I have taken your source apart; your response is to level more attacks against Greenwald, and I'm sorry to say, they just sound stupider. All they've done is cause me to lose the minimal respect for you. Since that means I can only insult you, I think our discussion is closed. Please satisfy any further need you feel to continue it by rereading what I've written.
