(39,332 posts)Twitter Critics Slam Bond Villain Greenwald For Boasting Snowden Should Have U.S. On Its Knees Begging
Using some of the most incendiary rhetoric of the month-plus old surveillance scandal, Guardian journalist Glenn Greenwald told Argentine newspaper La Nacion that Snowden had enough information to cause unprecedented harm to the United States government, and that the leaker had formulated a dead mans switch, in which his disappearance automatically triggers a release of all the information.
Snowden has enough information to cause harm to the U.S. government in a single minute than any other person has ever had, Greenwald said. The U.S. government should be on its knees every day begging that nothing happen to Snowden, because if something does happen to him, all the information will be revealed and it could be its worst nightmare.
Greenwalds interview comes on the same day that the Associated Press reported that Snowden had agreed to Russian President Vladimir Putins condition that he be granted asylum only if he stops leaking classified information.
Later on Twitter, Greenwald reiterated a statement made to the Daily Beast that Snowden had taken precautions against government retaliation, so that were anything sinister to happen to him all of his classified information would be automatically disclosed.

Do you want to identify Obama with your posts?
If so, how can your posts be positive?

(39,332 posts)Wish I knew the artist. I think it points to some important realities outside of simply the gaffe about America on your knees. It shows that Greenwald looks better bald. He should take heed.
