Another possible pre-meditated outcome:
4) Highlight the fact that Greenwald is in an openly gay relationship in an attempt to discredit him / colour what he's saying in a personal light. Sadly, a large part of the conservative base will cling to this I think.
- jacquesm 13y agoThe conservative base in the UK? If not then how do you see the link, he was held in the UK, not the US?
- dsuth 13y agoGlobally, as this is a global story with global consequences (the entire NSA scandal, not just this part of it).
- w_t_payne 13y agoThe political elite in the UK has a somewhat different relationship with the "base" than the political elite in the US does. It is a much, much, much smaller country, and the difference in size makes a real difference to the way that the machinery of politics operates.

- dsuth 13y agoNo doubt, but this is the first time I've heard of it. Before it was just a random fact about Greenwald, now it's splashed all over the media, in people's faces.
