How dare the NYT take the air out of Greenwald’s puffery? How dare they!?

Better yet, how dare the NYT question Greenwald’s logic, reasoning, and patriotism of Snowden?

Yet, even Greenwald goofed when he likened Snowden to a bunch of criminals that the US has refused extradition for.


Let’s just ignore that the countries seeking those extraditions are notable for: 1) incomplete, error-filled extradition applications; 2) records of torture and the individuals involved would likely not receive due process under the law; and 3) Greenwald has no problem drawing the comparison.

It indicates that Greenwald knows that Snowden committed crimes but ignores any of the reasons to deny extradition.
