re: #152 Charles Johnson

Daniel Ellsberg now supports Snowden, but what he did has almost no comparison at all to what Snowden did. Ellsberg revealed massive government wrongdoing, lying, and covering up damning facts about the Vietnam War.

Snowden revealed secret information about a legal program that DOES have government oversight.

I’m just gob-smacked that anyone would seriously say there’s no difference. This is the kind of crap Greenwald pulls all the time, to promote himself.

It’s easy to do it when Ellsberg unfortunately himself regards Snowden as being like him. But yeah there’s a big difference between what the two did and GG knows that but he prefers to be a troll.
