2 reporters who probed NSA surveillance back in US
Source: ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK (AP) — Two reporters central to revealing the massive U.S. government surveillance effort have returned to the United States for the first time since the story broke.
Glenn Greenwald and Laura Poitras of The Guardian came to New York on Friday to receive a journalism award.
Greenwald said at Kennedy Airport that they were not “100 percent sure” that they could enter the U.S. without being arrested for their reporting on National Security Agency surveillance. He added that an arrest would have been “incredibly stupid and self-destructive” and would be viewed by the world as “incredibly authoritarian.”
Greenwald and Poitras are sharing a George Polk Award for national security reporting with The Guardian’s Ewen MacAskill and Barton Gellman, who has led The Washington Post’s reporting on the NSA documents.
