In reply to the discussion: ‘Bullsh*t!’ Greenwald and Iraq Vet Blow Up on Real Time over Snowden Leaks [View all]Cha
(299,148 posts)158. "Greenwald’s attitude about this issue is incredibly cavalier, and it was good to see someone who
didnt just accept his facile rationalizations for a change." Exactly.

"And it got even louder and more contentious when Rieckhoff pressed Greenwald further on the issue of whether Snowdens leaked documents have endangered American lives. I have to say kudos to Mr. Rieckhoff for confronting Greenwald over his aggressive certainty that nobody could possibly be harmed by the information hes released. Greenwalds attitude about this issue is incredibly cavalier, and it was good to see someone who didnt just accept his facile rationalizations for a change."
