re: #30 lawhawk

Assuming facts not in evidence (that his lawyers are tech savvy).

It further assumes facts not in evidence (that Greenwald is tech savvy). In fact, Greenwald has shown he’s not tech savvy, in that he required Snowden’s assistance to set up an encrypted email system.

Meh.

These people claim superior knowledge/tech awareness/information awareness/morals, and they’ve repeatedly been exposed as nothing of the sort.

Well said lawhawk. I actually wonder how much of the stuff released by Snowden and Greenwald is true, and how much is hype? I wonder if we’ll ever find out - for example, the claims made about being able to read anyone’s email, etc, seem a tad exaggerated. But sadly, it seems most people have bought what Greenwald and Snowden were selling. It’d be nice to have an ex-spy agency, tech-savvy person analyze Snowden’s claims. I’d guess probably 10 % of what he’s said is true and the rest is hype.
