(57,936 posts)Greenwald had the courage to support Snowden in letting the American public know how the NSA is violating our privacy.
Who cares what he thinks about other issues.
Each of us is entitled to and should make up his/her own mind about each separate issue.
I fully support Greenwald with regard to his statements and writings about the NSA.
I am not authoritarian enough in my personality to insist that he or anyone else agree with me on every issue.
I like Obama. I don't like his NSA policy. I don't like many of his appointments. But I still support him. I don't like everything Greenwald thinks, says or does, but I still support him.
That's what makes me a liberal, a progressive. I think for myself and care about liberty and my fellow human beings.
I have been reading Greenwald's book No Place to Hide. It is great. I strongly recommend it. In fact, I don't think anyone on DU should comment on Greenwald without first reading that book.
The book is not about Greenwald. It is about Greenwald's meeting Snowden, about the NSA's programs and activities, about why the NSA's programs and activities are objectionable and dangerous and how the American media repeats propaganda and is rewarded for doing so.
It's worth reading.
