In reply to the discussion: ‘Bullsh*t!’ Greenwald and Iraq Vet Blow Up on Real Time over Snowden Leaks [View all]NanceGreggs
(27,835 posts)... I don't see how reading his version of events would be in any way enlightening - and, in any event, would be beside the point. It is Snowden who owes his fellow citizens an explanation - and shelling out money for Greenwald's book shouldn't be part of the equation.
Snowden stole thousands upon thousands of documents, and then turned them over to others without even knowing their contents himself, no less what the consequences of their disclosure might be. There is no getting around that fact - as much as the Snowdenistas would like that fact to just go away.
Relying on Snowden's judgment as to who is trustworthy and who isn't would appear to be foolish at best. Thus far, his "good sense" has led to being stranded in a country where his freedom is restricted, not knowing what his fate will be from one day to the next - while his good buddy, Greenwald, is making a shitload of money from Snowden's escapades.
