Wait, ProSense Mar 2014 #4
This! Fawke Em Mar 2014 #6
The only straw men were in Greenwald's answer. Ricks' question was appropriate blm Mar 2014 #14
It was a valid question. randome Mar 2014 #15
No he doesn't. Fawke Em Mar 2014 #97

When you are on the Bd. of Directors of ... frazzled Mar 2014 #63
And the question was being used (incorrectly) to try and undermine his credibility Maedhros Mar 2014 #65
It seems to be the latest talking point. I posted in Mojorabbit Mar 2014 #86
Yes, indeed. A quick tour of Google shows a number of right-leaning bloggers Maedhros Mar 2014 #88
He still looks pretty lame for deciding that he's only going to address US issues treestar Mar 2014 #89

Now, what would REALLY impress me is Snowden and Greenwald stealing TwilightGardener Mar 2014 #5
You do realize they don't have access to that like Fawke Em Mar 2014 #7
He won't even criticize Putin, and you believe he would do this? 6000eliot Mar 2014 #8
I can't believe that has to be pointed out on DU. Hassin Bin Sober Mar 2014 #10
Riiiight. They would organize such a thing, but too bad, no access! TwilightGardener Mar 2014 #12

I was about to post the same, CYA. eom PowerToThePeople Mar 2014 #18
I can see that--but you'd think that nothing would hold GG back. nt msanthrope Mar 2014 #20
So, by extension, Greenwald is excused? Protecting his source? Hissyspit Mar 2014 #21
No, that is not protecting a source. Greenwald could say anything he wants without impacting Snowden stevenleser Mar 2014 #24
Protecting his source's interests, not his identity. Hissyspit Mar 2014 #25
The initial argument where? Whoever said it is wrong. No one in this thread seems to have said it stevenleser Mar 2014 #26
Huh? treestar Mar 2014 #47
