I've come to the conclusion that he is a self-promoting hack. His primary concern should be disseminating the truth, not editorializing it on an ala carte basis. His treatment of the docs is a disservice to the public.

His treatment beats the shit out of how the rest of the newsmedia have been treating them. These things are only getting coverage by other outlets because of Greenwald and the people working with him.

How do you think he should be treating it? If he released all the documents all, he would be criticised for that. If he releases little bits, he would be criticised for that instead...

Interesting: you spend every comment condemning him for not being tightly focused on "disseminating the truth" (whatever that means), and somehow you find nothing dissonant about you having nothing to say about the actual investigations, facts, and content he writes. Interesting indeed.

  Mind, he doesn't actually have to be a plant. It's surprisingly easy to find fans of an administration who will go after critics with amazing single-mindedness.

  I'm neither a fan of the administration, nor the NSA. I'm simply frustrated at the manner in which these leaks have been presented. The momentum is all gone, and GG is seeing it. People don't care because it took too long to get it all out there. Pretty soon, the story will be swept under the rug.
