Greenwald Gloats, Twists Words of National Intelligence Director
Glenn Greenwald now resorts to twisting the words of the Director of National Intelligence:
DNI: Prior to this week, The Terrorists didn’t realize that the US Govt tries to monitor their communications.

Here’s the article he’s responding to: Clapper: Leaks Are ‘Literally Gut-Wrenching,’ Leaker Being Sought.
Go ahead and read it; see if you can find a quote from the DNI that even comes close to what Greenwald said. It’s not there. He simply made it up.
More from Mr. Greenwald, as he mocks US security concerns and threatens to release even more sensitive information:
The very idea that anything we’ve exposed tips “the terrorists” off to anything is so absurd that people should be furious at the insult

Clapper: leaks “literally gut-wrenching” - “huge, grave damage” - save some melodrama and rhetoric for coming stories. You’ll need it.

I’m pretty sure I didn’t vote for Glenn Greenwald; and although I have serious reservations about the government culture of secrecy, Greenwald is the very last person I want deciding what should be secret and what shouldn’t.
