Keeping Secrets: Pierre Omidyar, Glenn Greenwald and the privatization of Snowden’s leaks [View all] El_Johns Jan 2014 OP

This paints with a broad brush, Snowden was not enriched when Greenwald sold those secrets. Vincardog Jan 2014 #1

I don't think it says Snowden was enriched; I think it says he wasn't, in fact. El_Johns Jan 2014 #2

The inference is there: Vincardog Jan 2014 #18

What this hit piece does is try to confuse the weak minded into believing Greenwald shouldn't profit last1standing Jan 2014 #19

Agreed. Apples to Grapes comparison. Vincardog Jan 2014 #20

Who owned the secrets disovered by Watergate and the Pentagon Papers? last1standing Jan 2014 #3

You know, I can read all the Pentagon Papers. Can you read all the NSA documents Snowden claims msanthrope Jan 2014 #5

So you want them all published? I agree. Let's get them all out there. last1standing Jan 2014 #8

All published, after identifiers that could harm people are taken out. msanthrope Jan 2014 #16

Is that necessary in order to stop NSA abuses? last1standing Jan 2014 #21

It's necessary to prevent this situation from popping up again..... msanthrope Jan 2014 #25

I think the article makes it very clear how that case was different from this one. Ellsberg leaked El_Johns Jan 2014 #7

Snowden offered the documents to more than Greenwald. They chose not to take him up on it. last1standing Jan 2014 #10

I don't think you read the article. Its focus is Greenwald, not Snowden. It doesn't claim El_Johns Jan 2014 #11

Did Woodward and Bernstein give away the info they got from Deepthroat or profit from it? last1standing Jan 2014 #12

I'll wait for you to actually read the article. No point responding until you have. El_Johns Jan 2014 #13

I've read it. It's an insulting smear piece that doesn't answer my question. Neither have you. last1standing Jan 2014 #15

Your comments don't indicate it. El_Johns Jan 2014 #24

Um.. Have you read the article? My comments directly contradict it. last1standing Jan 2014 #26
