Greenwald: Embassy Closings Looks Like A Conspiracy To Silence NSA Debate

[cali]

112. well you know I don't defend it and I think Greenwald is spouting nonsense

no, he didn't use the word conspiracy but he said this:

“Here we are in the midst of one the most intense debates and sustain debates that we’ve had in a very long time in this country over the dangers of excess surveillance, and suddenly an administration that has spent two claiming that it has decimated Al-Qaeda decides that there is this massive threat that involves the closing of embassies and consulates throughout the world,” Greenwald explained. “And within literally an amount of hours, the likes of Saxby Chambliss and Lindsey Graham join with the White House and Democrats in Congress — who, remember, are the leading defenders of the NSA at this point — to exploit that terrorist threat, and to insist that it shows that the NSA and these programs are necessary.”

there are far more compelling arguments about what is going on in Yemen and why.
