They kept insisting Glenn wasn't a "writer" despite all the books he's published. It was truly a bizarre hill for them to choose to die on.

@ggreenwald: Would the WH prefer mass, indiscriminate, bulk, unvetted simultaneous disclosure? [View all] dkf Aug 2013 OP

This is asinine on its face, greenwald is a damn joke uponit7771 Aug 2013 #1

It's not about Greenwald!!! ProSense Aug 2013 #3

It's about our surveillance state, and a President still lying about it. Please read: chimpymustgo Aug 2013 #57

You do, of course, recall the chorus of damnation directed toward Manning Maedhros Aug 2013 #22

For the record Summer Hathaway Aug 2013 #29

Ah, so you would prefer they carry on with their careful analysis before publishing usGovOwesUs3Trillion Aug 2013 #35

I'm sure GG's "careful analysis" Summer Hathaway Aug 2013 #37

I'll take that as a yes usGovOwesUs3Trillion Aug 2013 #43

Well, obviously 'yes' Summer Hathaway Aug 2013 #44

lol usGovOwesUs3Trillion Aug 2013 #49

Ya know ... Summer Hathaway Aug 2013 #51

Sorry, but that's my normal reaction to smear campaigns usGovOwesUs3Trillion Aug 2013 #52

Sue you for what? Summer Hathaway Aug 2013 #54

Vetting the information takes time. Maedhros Aug 2013 #45

GG has announced his new book not being available Summer Hathaway Aug 2013 #48

Actually, Greenwald is getting the last laugh and will continue to get the last laugh. JDPriestly Aug 2013 #24

Please, Greenwald isn't laughing, he's scrambling. n/t ProSense Aug 2013 #25

That definitely comes across as lol usGovOwesUs3Trillion Aug 2013 #36

And yet another Summer Hathaway Aug 2013 #53

WRONG, people are laughing AT Greenwald ... he'll sell a book and Paulians will buy it along uponit7771 Aug 2013 #68

LOL Autumn Aug 2013 #2

Greenwald? Cali_Democrat Aug 2013 #4

Spring of 2014, I think. morningfog Aug 2013 #7

Funny how he's trying to cash in on all this Cali_Democrat Aug 2013 #8

Yet that does not change the NSA's programs. morningfog Aug 2013 #9

Changes the integrity of their claims which MOST of the NSA hub bub hinges on, the claimes uponit7771 Aug 2013 #14

Yet, that still does not change the NSA programs. morningfog Aug 2013 #15

Link to Obama reforming the NSA programs uponit7771 Aug 2013 #16

*Trying* to reform. morningfog Aug 2013 #17

Unfortunately, those claims are backed up by ANOTHER whistleblower now. Th1onein Aug 2013 #20

Their self-reinforcing pack-like behavior on these threads has passed the "forum post" stage Maedhros Aug 2013 #46

cash in? burnodo Aug 2013 #12

*They* didn't *tell* him the *truth* before he went to Leno's. Amonester Aug 2013 #19

It's downright scandalous... ljm2002 Aug 2013 #30

I went round-and-round with one of the Hyena Pack about this. Maedhros Aug 2013 #67

Hilarious noise Aug 2013 #31

I think he's a bit busy right now reporting on the biggest story of the century usGovOwesUs3Trillion Aug 2013 #38

Ha! I bet they would. Then they would know the limits of what is known and morningfog Aug 2013 #5

It's like a painfully slow pas de deux, Obama doing a plie and Greenwald following behind him. JDPriestly Aug 2013 #27

So from your posts here and other threads Bodhi BloodWave Aug 2013 #56

That's it. limpyhobbler Aug 2013 #34

No, we'd prefer that you package it all in a book and charge us for the 'freedom' you bestow! randome Aug 2013 #6

I would prefer our government not spy on us and then lie about it. morningfog Aug 2013 #10

yeap, we'd be better off in Russia :rolleyes: uponit7771 Aug 2013 #11

I didn't say that or think that. We should be far better than Russia. morningfog Aug 2013 #13

Well said. JDPriestly Aug 2013 #28

That will have to wait until the reporting is concluded usGovOwesUs3Trillion Aug 2013 #40

I would! Put up or shut up! jazzimov Aug 2013 #18

I doubt they would want to stray from their current course of putting up usGovOwesUs3Trillion Aug 2013 #41

'High quality'? Like what Greenwald said about PRISM and 'direct access'? randome Aug 2013 #58

Yep. As Documented on NSA's TOP SECRET material. usGovOwesUs3Trillion Aug 2013 #59

PRISM isn't even a program. It's a database. randome Aug 2013 #60

That IS direct access to their servers. As noted in their TOP SECRET documents. usGovOwesUs3Trillion Aug 2013 #61

It's 'direct access' to one secure FTP server per company. Not the same thing as Greenwald said. randome Aug 2013 #62

Exactly and GG did say it, the NSA TOP SECRET DOCS did. usGovOwesUs3Trillion Aug 2013 #63

Do it, Do it! Lancero Aug 2013 #21

OMG, I just realized what this is ProSense Aug 2013 #23

Oh that is just sad. nt Mojorabbit Aug 2013 #65

Hah. millennialmax Aug 2013 #26

Speaking at the Cato Institute is common for a number of people across the political spectrum. Maedhros Aug 2013 #47

Did Ron Wyden write whitepaper for CATO? Appear at Benefactor's Summit's as a party premium? msanthrope Aug 2013 #64

I'm perfectly capable of analyzing Greenwald's body of work. Maedhros Aug 2013 #66

Who cares what wrong doers think, I'd prefer a deliberate and careful release usGovOwesUs3Trillion Aug 2013 #32

Annihilate the surveillance state. Utterly. Now. Fire Walk With Me Aug 2013 #50
