Greenwald only sees that as a problem with government surveillance. Its MUCH bigger than that!Nancy LeTourneauhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12614317154146836694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7163441833245663827.post-25008314457521849432014-10-13T12:01:19.680-05:002014-10-13T12:01:19.680-05:00I thought it was interesting that you recommended ...I thought it was interesting that you recommended to him on Twitter that he watch Kill the Messenger...a true story about a real, live, actual conspiracy by the CIA. Guess he can't get any street cred or attention for that. Did he ever convince you of his premise: that privacy is important?Tien Lenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7163441833245663827.post-22973165704767815412014-10-12T22:52:56.722-05:002014-10-12T22:52:56.722-05:00I think Greenwald's main purpose is not to inf...I think Greenwald's main purpose is not to inform but to draw attention to himself and appear to be the smartest person in the room. Surely, he can't be as naive as to think that our government only began to spy on us after January 20, 2009. Even one of my senators, Saxby Chambliss, admitted that the NSA domestic surveillance program began in 2006, but if one listens to Greenwald, the NSA only recently became a threat to our existence. Greenwald has established a double standard for President Obama and President Bush. While he had no major objections to the NSA's domestic surveillance activities between 2002-2009, he's found plenty of reasons to be against them now. I've always believed that Greenwald's opposition to anything having to do with this president is personal because no matter what President Obama does, we can always count on Greenwald to be adamantly opposed to it. majiinoreply@blogger.com
