Journalist Tom Ricks 'Beginning To Believe The Worst' About Greenwald And Snowden

TOM KLUDT – MARCH 17, 2014, 1:23 PM EDT

Tom Ricks has a growing suspicion that Glenn Greenwald and Edward Snowden are up to something.

On Saturday, the Pulitzer Prize-winning national security reporter posed a question to Greenwald on Twitter.

"Glenn, any comments from you or Edward Snowden on the recent round of media shutdowns in Russia?" Ricks asked.

After initially referring Ricks to Snowden's representative at the ACLU, Greenwald asked Ricks if he had any comment on "Peruvian police corruption," "corporate waste dumping in E Africa," or a U.S. drone strike from last year that killed 13 people en route to a wedding party in Yemen.

Sure, Ricks said, he'd be "happy to comment," but not before he saw Greenwald denounce Vladmir Putin "and his crackdown."
