re: #9 Charles Johnson
Greenwald is extremely quick to nitpick when someone criticizes him and insist on being quoted verbatim, so he can waffle and pretend to avoid responsibility.
But here he is, saying the New York Times is “demanding the extradition” of Edward Snowden, when that’s simply not what the editorial says. At all.
Exactly. It’s vague:
Mr. Snowden undoubtedly fears returning home because he would be arrested and prosecuted. But those fears do not qualify him for asylum. And does he really feel safer in a country where Mr. Putin, an increasingly authoritarian leader, has jailed and persecuted his critics?
