Depends what you define as being "an American".. Glenn Greenwald, the main journalist publishing the leaks, asserts his US citizenship and his American identity as the ultimate impetus behind his acts -- his belief in the American Constitution and the rights of American citizens

American, Schmerican. What we have here is a group of nationalistic government-employed hominids enforcing their paranoia upon the rest of their species. Justice shouldn't wave flags.

America's conscience. In exile in Brazil.

  Can you imagine the guy actually living in the USA? He would be annihilated by now.

    That's hugely speculative. Just because his car's brakes might fail, it doesn't mean it wasn't an accident.

      Yes, the police said he fell down an elevator shaft. Onto some bullets.

  We should remember his exact reason for being in Brazil in the first place, which he outlines here [1]; he would no doubt be moving to the US as we type if it weren't for the NSA stories [1] http://ggsidedocs.blogspot.com.br/2013/01/frequently-told-lies-ftls.html http://ggsidedocs.blogspot.com.br/2013/01/frequently-told-li...

    Sure, Greenwald moved to Brazil because of one US policy and now stays there because of another. But also, Snowden quite likely contacted Greenwald because he was a well known US journalist of high principles who wasn't located in the US. So there you are.
