First of all, I don't think that many people care one way or the other about the Pulitzer. And as has been noted, Greenwald did not win the Pulitzer. The award went to the Washington Post and the Guardian which is routine for the Public Service Pulitzer. http://www.pulitzer.org/bycat/Public-Service
And I wonder if the same folks making the really moronic comment that people are upset that Greenwald "won" the Pulitzer feel that way about George Will? I mean, he won one too, an INDIVIDUAL Pulitzer http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/politics/opinions/will.htm Does that mean that no one is able to criticize him or that the Pulitzer committee is some all knowing group of super humans and once they bestow their award you are now a deity never to be criticized?
One of the dumbest "journalists" I've ever seen also has a Pulitzer under his belt. http://pulitzer-prize.findthebest.com/q/733/1948/What-did-Charles-Krauthammer-win-a-Pulitzer-Prize-for People making this really strange argument that the Pulitzer vindicated Snowden and that people who don't like Greenwald are jealous of it don't seem to know what they're talking about.
