"NSA defenders are pros at shooting the messenger

Ask Snowden and Greenwald.

Let's all play the game. You don't all of a sudden hate the game right?"

You admit to playing a "game" and "shooting the messenger" because you don't like criticism of Snowden and Greenwald.

Here's something you apparently don't understand: Greenwald writes commentary and is in the news. He's subject to criticism like Lawrence O'Donnell or any NYT columnist. Snowden is in the news, the leak, the NSA, his flight from the country, his attempt to get asylum are all being discussed.

If you can't see why anyone would focus on him, that's a problem. I'm not a topic here anymore than you are.

Still, it's good to know your "game."
