Greenwald has at least been consistent in his antagonism toward the state intelligence and law enforcement apparatus.
It's unfortunate that that aligns him, now, with the gross political opportunism of a group of people who generally DO support an invasive government intelligence and law enforcement--as long as it is working in their favor.
Now that it is in their interest to publicly attack this apparatus, they happily do so. As soon as it's working for them again, they'll wrap themselves in FBI hats and American flags again.
One wants to say to Greenwald: "Read the room, man! You're supporting people who oppose your beliefs and would happily throw you in jail!"
But of course a big part of being Greenwald being Greenwald is he sticks to his guns no matter how the room reads.
