and I continue to advocate for ending the blanket sweeps involving citizens not accused of actual crimes based on probable cause.

However, I think Mr. Greenwald's on-going revelations serve no purpose except to damage the US so as to buy himself more credibility and put pressure on the Obama administration to act. I believe his intentions are sincere but his methods are doing more harm than good.

He is also harming US capabilities which do serve a legitimate function.

He needs to play smarter, not harder.
