6. And others, Liberals like me, will pay attention BECAUSE of the authors.

It is an excellent article. Greenwald, one of this country's most courageous journalists despite being targeted for a smear campaign by some of our 'security contractors'. What is thrilling is how they failed. They tried to go after his family, a vile, low disgusting thing to do. They wanted to know even about his 'children, IF he has any'. CHILDREN, they were willing to spy on his children.

Anytime I see someone targeted like that, I know we have to support them. And in spite of their vile attempts to smear him, rather than going away, they actually contributed to his status today as a widely read International journalist, rather than what he was when they tried to shut him up about the Big Banks, a relatively small blogger.
