- gojomo 13y agoThis was an @-response to another commenter's claim that this story will be forgotten in a year. As such we shouldn't see it as a promotional 'tease' - it wouldn't even appear to all @ggreenwald followers. It's merely a specific refutation of that dismissive commenter's judgement based on incomplete information. (It looks more self-servingly promotional only because it's been ripped from its context.)

This is how the conversation went down: Glenn Greenwald: "Ellsberg: "There has not been in US history a more important leak than Snowden's –and that definitely includes Pentagon Papers 40 years ago"" Twitter User: "@ggreenwald Sorry, a year from now we'll be snoozing about this. Not against you, just tired of your self-promotion." Glenn Greenwald: "@TerenceBegleyNJ You have no idea what is coming; and I'm promoting the leaks, not myself"
