Wow, Glenn Greenwald looks like some kind of noir villain.

From now on, every time I read anything by Greenwald I’m going to hear Peter Lorre’s voice in my head reading it, and it will be a vast improvement.

Here, you try:

The highly touted speech Obama delivered last week on US terrorism policy was a master class in that technique. If one longed to hear that the end of the “war on terror” is imminent, there are several good passages that will be quite satisfactory. If one wanted to hear that the war will continue indefinitely, perhaps even in expanded form, one could easily have found that. And if one wanted to know that the president who has spent almost five years killing people in multiple countries around the world feels personal “anguish” and moral conflict as he does it, because these issues are so very complicated, this speech will be like a gourmet meal.
