He can't answer a simple question so he twists himself into a pretzel, asking his own questions, refuses to answer, and then the person asking the question gets attacked for being "McArthy-ite."

Why does Greenwald get to be the only one asking questions? I find his hypocrisy stunning, especially since he himself has used all sorts of tatics in attacking other journalists.
