(14,173 posts)"While calling others "authoritarians", you have demonstrated your own insistence that GG/Snowden should be accepted as one hundred percent credible and truthful, without hesitation or further inquiry."
This does not make sense. Its not as if Snowden and Greenwald got together and wrote out fake documents. Unless you are actually debating the authenticity of the released documents themselves. Not even Obama or Clapper have denied the authenticity.
Again, Snowden only released information of what was actually happening. It is a ridiculous argument to base your antagonism towards them on the credibility of Snowdens source or the truth in what it reveals. Its up to you if you want to dismiss the actual documents as irrelevant (ie. we already knew all that), but to dismiss what they revealed as not truthful or credible is simply nonsensical.
