re: #20 Charles Johnson

Sorry, but I think that would be a very stupid move. Greenwald has been incredibly irresponsible and agenda-driven throughout this whole thing, but in America we don’t criminalize reporting and that’s how it should be.

Actually, I tend to think he did more than “report” on what Snowden did. I think he was involved in planning Snowden’s actions at the NSA. IIRC, wasn’t it reported early on that Snowden met Poitras back in November 2012 or thereabouts, and Greenwald in Feb 2013, before he actually went to work at the NSA? I’m not really clear on when Snowden went to work there (March? April?) but it certainly wasn’t in February.

“Glenn Greenwald, the Guardian journalist who Snowden first contacted in February, told The Daily Beast on Tuesday that Snowden “has taken extreme precautions to make sure many different people around the world have these archives to insure the stories will inevitably be published.”
