Glenn Greenwald Calls Guardian Book On Snowden 'Bullshit'

[Blue_Tires]

85. Agreed...

I've been wanting this discussion to get past the occasional "so-and-so is spying on so-and-so" leak and fast-forward to the "connecting-the-dots/who benefits/and what should be done about them" -phase...Name names and expose everyone involved from every national government and every boardroom...

Although it has to be said that if Greenwald's version of events was true and one of the Guardian's most experienced and respected correspondents set up an interview under false pretenses just to get a jumpstart on publishing a book (by a Guardian-owned publishing house, no less)...That is a *HUGE* accusation to make and *HUGE* story requiring an in-depth look into Guardian management...

And therein lies the problem -- Greenwald doesn't get to flip a switch from the hysterical, half-truth, thin-skinned, I'm-always-right, pulling unfounded accusations out of his ass, never admits error or fault -persona to the upright defender of press freedom and courageous protector of individual rights without the waters getting murky...
