Glenn Greenwald on NBC's Today

It was interesting to hear Glenn Greenwood talk about the demeanor of Edward Snowden while he was preparing to hand over some of the most sensitive classified material since Ames at CIA.

He says both he and  Snowden were surprised about the outpouring of public debate over the world.  Snowden only wanted to stop NSA from doing terrible things.  He scoffed at the idea that Snowden was a spy.  

We aren't buying the story, Glenn. 

Is it possible that Greenwald and Snowden could be prosecuted for what they did?  He apparently thinks so, and so did Snowden.  They are going to stick to this tale of Snowden's landing in Russia "because the U. S. Cancelled his passport" probably the most ridiculous and implausible story ever invented.  Some very we'll known spies managed to get to Russia without a passport and there is no reason to think Snowden couldn't have done it.  

The Russians are not innocent in this theft.  They have done it hundreds of times before, and getting the press to help them is the only unique aspect of this farce.  We owe Russia for this one.  Time to get even.   Amazon books:
