Greenwald: The Sunday Times’ Snowden Story Is Journalism At Its Worst- And Filled With Falsehoods

105. Ok this is the last reply

No links or any backing to you claims of his lying....BUT, If that is true, cannot you see that that only proves we must stop the government's haphazard and disrespectful attitude towards individual American's privacy rights? That one of the by-products from their massive spying scope results in showing they have few qualms and would hire out a private third party company who are so lackadaisical with their security checks to allow Snowden, or even someone else with more sinister aims, be able to take your files? That having such a contempt for citizens privacy would have continued without this revelation? And that Snowden at the very least put a spotlight on the issue and forced them to address it?

You continually blame the messenger. Or "they both lie". So all lies are the equally damning to you? Someone can lie and tell a friend they haven't seen in a long time, that has aged badly... "you look good". A person can lie about his qualifications to land a job. Or a whole government can lie about not invading your personal correspondence. Its all the same? I'll agree to disagree.

And thievery? He stole evidence from the scene of the crime. He didn't have a warrant, no, but by doing so, he may have helped stop the government from continuing its massive stealing without millions of warrants for years to come. Once again, there are different levels of "stealing", IMO. We'll agree to disagree on this as well.
