Dershowitz: Greenwald's a total phony, anti-America, ideologue - video link

Dershowitz: Greenwald's a total phony
Alan Dershowitz, Gloria Allred and CNN's Piers Morgan discuss Glenn Greenwald's actions in aiding Edward Snowden.




-snip-

"Edward Snowden has said, 'I've committed a serious crime,' the newspaper has put this out there," noted Piers Morgan. "Surely he [Greenwald] should be prepared to answer questions about whether anything they have done – in cahoots with this guy, we don't know how far he goes – anything they've done borders on criminality. I think it's a perfectly reasonable question."

Dershowitz, for his part, insisted there is no gray area:

"Well, it doesn't border on criminality – it's right in the heartland of criminality. The statute itself, does punish the publication of classified material, if you know that it's classified," explained the guest. "Greenwald – in my view – clearly has committed a felony."

Continuing his assessment of the reporter, Dershowitz held little back:

"Greenwald's a total phony. He is anti-American, he loves tyrannical regimes, and he did this because he hates America. This had nothing to do with publicizing information."

I watched the discussion on CNN a bit ago and found it interesting, so that's why I posted the link here.

Let the full page load, then the video will show right above the short article.
Then after you click arrow on the video is it take a few seconds for the video to start.

Hope that helps
