Blowback already?

Post #379,535 by mmoffitt 8/19/13 1:21:21 PM Reply	Blowback already? Glenn Greenwald, the reporter who broke the news about secret U.S. surveillance programs said the authorities who took his partner into custody at London's Heathrow Airport "are going to regret what they did." "I am going to write my stories a lot more aggressively now," the Guardian reporter told Brazil's Globo TV on Monday in Rio de Janeiro. "I am going to publish many more documents now. I am going to publish a lot about England, too, I have a lot of documents about the espionage system in England. Now my focus is going to be that as well." ... "If the UK and U.S. governments believe that tactics like this are going to deter or intimidate us in any way from continuing to report aggressively on what these documents reveal, they are beyond deluded," said Greenwald. "If anything, it will have only the opposite effect: to embolden us even further." http://www.cnn.com/2...ex.html?hpt=hp_t2

Given how you responded, it doesn't surprise me that you would find a very simple, politely stated request of that kind to be offensive. Greenwald's dreamed of bringing Obama down since before he was even elected. I'd expect nothing less of him than to throw a tantrum now. FWIW. Cheers, Scott.

If he gets the center seat he can make changes in FISA (with the help of a Democratic Congress). Obama gave his explanation; I'm not crazy about it, but I understand it. Mc Cain won't do anything about FISA. I wonder what that voter thinks now? Any opinions expressed by me are mine alone, posted from my home computer, on my own time as a free American and do not reflect the opinions of any person or company that I have had professional relations with in the past 58 years. meep

But the bar was set MUCH LOWER for both candidates... and the RMoney bar was so low that I doubt an ant could go under it unscathed. -- greg@gregfolkert.net PGP key 1024D/B524687C 2003-08-05 Fingerprint: E1D3 E3D7 5850 957E FED0 2B3A ED66 6971 B524 687C
