Glenn Greenwald said in an interview published late last week that he intends to return to the United States at some point, admitting that he does "feel a bit on exile."

The Brazil-based American journalist who has reported extensively on top secret surveillance programs revealed through documents leaked by Edward Snowden said he refuses to be kept out of his native country simply for doing his job.

"I do feel a bit on exile but I don’t mean to stay away from the US," Greenwald told the website Telerama. "I wanna force the issue at some point. I refuse to be kept out of my own country for doing journalism."

Greenwald originally moved to Brazil as a result of a U.S. law that denied immigration benefits to his gay partner, but that law has since been struck down.

What an insult to people who have really been exiled, who suffer persecution, who can't return to their home countries out of fear for their lives. He says "I refuse to be kept out of my own country for doing journalism" when no one is keeping him out of the country for doing journalism, and before he claimed to live outside of the US due to the lack of gay marriage laws. So, what?
