Right on cue, Glenn Greenwald turns an ISIS atrocity into an anti-Obama screed...

236. what do you know about how he feels about the U.S.

...you interpret his dissatisfaction and objections to U.S. policy as 'anti-U.S.' and it's an amazingly short-sighted leap.

Mr. Greenwald is an American citizen - an expatriated one, but, an American citizen, no less. As far as reporting on Brazil. he's been recognized for several of his stories there - some bearing many of the same criticisms he levels at U.S. policy.

Glenn Edward Greenwald (born March 6, 1967) is an American lawyer, journalist and author.

Greenwald was named by Foreign Policy magazine as one of the Top 100 Global Thinkers of 2013. Four of the five books he has written have been on The New York Times Best Sellers list.

Greenwald has received awards including the first Izzy Award for independent journalism, in 2009,and the 2010 Online Journalism Award for Best Commentary. In June 2013 Greenwald became widely known after The Guardian published the first of a series of reports detailing United States and British global surveillance programs, based on classified documents disclosed by Edward Snowden. The series on which Greenwald worked, along with others, won the 2014 Pulitzer Prize for Public Service. His reporting on the National Security Agency (NSA) won numerous other awards around the world, including top investigative journalism prizes from the George Polk Award for National Security Reporting, the 2013 Online Journalism Awards, the Esso Award for Excellence in Reporting in Brazil for his articles in O Globo on NSA mass surveillance of Brazilians (becoming the first foreigner to win the award), the 2013 Libertad de Expresion Internacional award from Argentinian magazine Perfil, and the 2013 Pioneer Award from the Electronic Frontier Foundation.

Greenwald lives in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, the hometown of his partner, David Michael Miranda. Greenwald has stated that his residence in Brazil is the result of an American law, the Defense of Marriage Act, barring federal recognition of same-sex marriages, which prevented his partner from receiving a visa to reside in the United States with him. Greenwald has also cited fears of arrest should he move back to the US.
