Snowden/Greenwald Threaten The United States
I've made no secret of my utter disdain for both Edward Snowden's lawbreaking and for his agent/advocate Glenn Greenwald, both in how they've spun the story, manipulated the press like masterful carnival barkers, and provided as little original sourcing as possible.
All of this, despite the fact that I actually partially agree with them. I, too, have utter contempt for the Patriot Act. I, too, would like to see it overturned and serious oversight/regulations brought back into the FISA court to ensure warrants for any data review.
So why my contempt for these two? Because of bullshit like this, published in today's Reuters:
"Snowden has enough information to cause harm to the U.S. government in a single minute than any other person has ever had," Greenwald said in an interview in Rio de Janeiro with the Argentinean daily La Nacion.
"The U.S. government should be on its knees every day begging that nothing happen to Snowden, because if something does happen to him, all the information will be revealed and it could be its worst nightmare."
The USA should be "on it's knees"? Who talks like this? What is this, the W.W.E.? This is an absolute joke.
Is Greenwald a journalist or Snowden's agent? I've seen subtler hype machines for Paris Hilton reality shows.

Since Greenwald has not been factual at times, nope it will not be folks who are factual.
