Glenn Greenwald’s predictable sarcasm-laced rant denouncing President Obama’s proposed NSA reforms is now posted at The Guardian; according to Mr. Greenwald, the whole thing is a sham designed to keep the sheeple quiet while the “devoted and slavish loyalists of the National Security State” rub their hands and laugh maniacally.

Bet you didn’t see that coming.

And the Mighty Greenwald, as is his wont, concludes by threatening to leak more damaging secrets until Obama knuckles under to his will.

Today’s speech should be seen as the first step, not the last, on the road to restoring privacy. The causes that drove Obama to give this speech need to be, and will be, stoked and nurtured further until it becomes clear to official Washington that, this time around, cosmetic gestures are plainly inadequate.
