Jeremy Scahill is one of the very best!
Greenwald & Scahill joining forces is good news for those who believe in Transparency and Informed Consent of the Governed.
If you DON'T believe in Transparency and Informed Consent?....well, we don't have much to talk about.
Throw in some Greg Palast, Seymour Hersh, and Bill Moyers for my Dream Team.
Very Happy DURec!!!
I wonder if DiFi considers them "Journalists".

Nope, NSA obtains the warrants necessary, what excuse does Snowden have or is he just a thief.

and in this case the spying is being done for control rather than security

our education system is clearly failing us when people can't discern journalism from spying

If I was Scahill, I would probably opt to drive a 1963 Ford Galaxy 500 or something like that.

Very good choice. That thing would walk away from a Bell Ranger if set up right.

Bin Laden deserved to ROT IN PRISON, nontheless Obama did the right thing.

There is no inconsistency. This was never an open FBI case, so the FBI never collected evidence.

Thank you for the link. Obviously, I was wrong about when they decided to make it not an FBI case.

Apparently, they don't think bin Laden's own video claiming responsibility constitutes evidence.

They're going to "investigate" but they've already decided what they are going to find?

no one disputes that there's a U.S. assassinations program -- they're simply connecting the dots

Is this the same Greenwald who thinks the US government is persecuting poor Barrett Brown?
