Glenn Greenwald and Snowden

For those who haven't seen it, Geoff Dyer had a good interview with Glenn Greenwald, the infamous Guardian reporter who hooked up with Edward Snowden to publish his documents.  See  http://www.ft.com/intl/cms/s/2/221d11c4-93db-11e3-a0e1-00144feab7de.html#axzz2tyOZHTiM

Dyer says Greenwald is "perhaps the most famous journalist of his generation...." which oversells the product somewhat, but an interesting person, none the less.  Dyer calls the article, "I am not looking to be liked"  which captures the essence of the Greenwald.  He reminds me of another left-wing lawyer with a series of missions from God, only the era was the 1960's and not today.

Greenwald's next adventure is sure to be more interesting than having one source provide documents that can be leaked to the public at large, in the name of journalism.  He is going to have several, linked to other reporters and journalists, all doing essentially the same thing.  The article is surely worth reading, if for no other reason than a model for how to get classified information into the press and avoid the legal complications of getting arrested for doing it.   Amazon books:
