Lol your smilie rocks. dkf Jun 2013 #66

The guy is rude to everyone he speaks with. He's pissing off other journalists. randome Jun 2013 #6

He seemed pretty polite to me... ljm2002 Jun 2013 #10

I'm not the only one who thinks he comes across as less than objective. randome Jun 2013 #20

No doubt we are both seeing what we want to see... ljm2002 Jun 2013 #24

Yes I am a Nazi because I'll follow Maddow's and L O'Donnell's coverage on this emulatorloo Jun 2013 #81

Got any substantive points to make? ljm2002 Jun 2013 #82

Yes. "And this case seems to be a real litmus test" emulatorloo Jun 2013 #83

Surely you don't disagree... ljm2002 Jun 2013 #85

Appreciate it emulatorloo Jun 2013 #86

You're right, emotions are running high... ljm2002 Jun 2013 #90

Awe, you're mad that the documents aren't being released at your pace. DesMoinesDem Jun 2013 #14

I'm not defending the NSA. My position is simply that they are following the law. randome Jun 2013 #21

Well, there you go. He's rude. Doesn't matter if he's right or not. Hissyspit Jun 2013 #33

He has made allegations. His source, Ed "I'm not going to hide" Snowden, is in hiding. randome Jun 2013 #37

Her questions should have been neutral but she was pushing a pro-authoritarian agenda rhett o rick Jun 2013 #84

Whistle-blowers are okay. Spies, not so much. randome Jun 2013 #87

You have it totally wrong. Sen Franken said that what they are doing is ok. He didnt say they arent rhett o rick Jun 2013 #92

�I can assure you, this is not about spying on the American people,� randome Jun 2013 #93

Some people are claiming that collecting massive data on American isnt spying. I say bullshit. rhett o rick Jun 2013 #95

Huge! It's what the ACLU needed too. I couldn't be more delighted Catherina Jun 2013 #18

heard on radio that ACLU filed on behalf of themselves, as a Verizon Biz customer nashville_brook Jun 2013 #22

Interesting times. I'm looking forward to keeping up on this with DU n/t Catherina Jun 2013 #38

at this point in the frenzy he could make up any names he likes w/o evidence Whisp Jun 2013 #27

He's given (at least) Greenwald the list of names under surveillance. Did you not watch the piece? Poll_Blind Jun 2013 #28

I haven't seen anything of the kind. Have you? Whisp Jun 2013 #31

Oh, so you're just pretending all this is not real? Lemme know how that pans out. nt Poll_Blind Jun 2013 #32

I seriously want to see that list. n/t Laelth Jun 2013 #50

Me too. Or at least for people to be able to run their name through it n/t Catherina Jun 2013 #57

Are we to assume the ACLU has the list? Laelth Jun 2013 #63

I don't know where it is. The last I heard Greenwald had it Catherina Jun 2013 #68

The basis (standing) for the ACLU's lawsuit, is that the ACLU is a Verizon Business customer n/t DisgustipatedinCA Jun 2013 #77

What a shitty interview Floyd_Gondolli Jun 2013 #8

He did. Cha Jun 2013 #76

It was a great interview. And the junior tv journalist may have learned a thing or two. DisgustipatedinCA Jun 2013 #79

what a sniveling, little toad! MjolnirTime Jun 2013 #9

How dare he do his job... ljm2002 Jun 2013 #11

His job is feeding his own ego, apparently. MjolnirTime Jun 2013 #13

I'm sure you are correct... ljm2002 Jun 2013 #16

Notice he has fully injected himself into the situation. His ego demanded it. MjolnirTime Jun 2013 #17

Who cares? ljm2002 Jun 2013 #23

The story has no merit. There was no illegal wiretapping. Despite what Greenwald insinuated. MjolnirTime Jun 2013 #30

Oh how I love weasel words... ljm2002 Jun 2013 #35

+1 Well said. n/t Laelth Jun 2013 #42

so, you agree that it was legal surveillance? Then there is nothing more to throw a fit about. MjolnirTime Jun 2013 #52

You seem to be a little hard of head... ljm2002 Jun 2013 #54

Then the correct course is to change the law, not leak National Secrets. You agree that was illegal? MjolnirTime Jun 2013 #59

You must love Yoo. morningfog Jun 2013 #80

Greenwald is not the arbiter of what is right. He does not make our decisions for us. randome Jun 2013 #53

Mr Greenwald may have gotten himself into a pan full asjr Jun 2013 #61

It's too similar to those who think their guns are being taken away from them. randome Jun 2013 #64

That's a good comparison treestar Jun 2013 #89

Who the hell are you arguing with? ljm2002 Jun 2013 #62

Some 'investigative reporter'. randome Jun 2013 #65

First of all... ljm2002 Jun 2013 #67

He could have spoken with 'unnamed sources', which happens all the time. randome Jun 2013 #69

Snowden has worked for the NSA for 4 years but limited stints at individual contractors. Luminous Animal Jun 2013 #71

The reactions so far... ljm2002 Jun 2013 #72

As Luminous Animal points out, he did work at the NSA in different capacities for 4 years. randome Jun 2013 #75

He's not with CATO. As has been shown to you multiple times. Hissyspit Jun 2013 #34

Except when he is. ucrdem Jun 2013 #41

Why don't you read what Greenwald has written in response to pathetic smears like yours. DesMoinesDem Jun 2013 #45

I've read it, he's wrong. ucrdem Jun 2013 #46

What exactly in the text I just posted is he wrong about? DesMoinesDem Jun 2013 #47

You can read? RetroLounge Jun 2013 #98

Nobody has said he didn't speak there. As you know. Hissyspit Jun 2013 #51
