Glenn Greenwald’s bizarre view of intelligence gathering:

[Embedded content]

He actually seems to think (or maybe he’s just bullshitting, I can’t tell) that the US should only gather intelligence on people who are known to be “wrongdoers.” In fact, suspicion isn’t even enough for Glenn - he specifically says we need evidence of wrongdoing before we can do any kind of spying.

Why do people think this guy is intelligent? I’d call this world view childish, but even most children aren’t this absurdly nave.

So we’re supposed to wait for something to blow up, then figure out how to stop them?
