In reply to the discussion: "Greenwald is an advocate, not a journalist" This is important to remember. [View all]sabrina 1
(62,325 posts)he learned that we were being lied to, immediately spoke out against it. Considering that you would not know 'what he was doing in 2003' were he not honest enough to have told the public himself, your 'gotcha' moment falls flat on its face.
I wish some of our Democratic leaders, Hillary, Biden and all the others who did way, way more than allow themselves to believe our government would never lie about such a serious matter, AFTER they knew the truth, had been as honest as Greenwald.
Imagine if they had:
1) There would have been investigations and most likely prosecutions of the war criminals.
2) At the very least, the funding for those wars they kept voting for would have ended and so would the wars.
But no, our Democratic leaders never acknowledged the Bush lies, as Greenwald did.
It takes a very strong and ethical person to admit when they are wrong.
Greenwald did that in his book which is the only reason you know 'what he was doing in 2003'. He wasn't even a blogger at that time.
Talk about disingenuous, or is that you did not know the facts about this? I'll give you the benefit of the doubt, because I'd like to think that on DU facts actually mean something still.
