Glenn Greenwald says Germany's NSA investigation is an illusion to keep US happy
- junto 12y agoGlenn may succeed in throwing a few proverbial cats amongst a field full of pigeons, but I seriously doubt much more is going to happen. If anything, it has become apparent that the German public is impotent to effect any serious change regardless of what depths their privacy has been invaded. If the privacy minded German public can be pushed around like this then countries like the UK have no chance of engaging changes to the system. I feel pessimistic about our collective future.
- joezydeco 12y agoGreenwald's request that Snowden be interviewed "in person" in Germany has no connection to the fact Snowden's Russian visa is expiring, right?
- weinzierl 12y agoTitle is misleading: Greenwald said that the NSA investigation is an illusion to keep the German public happy. Inviting him instead of Snowden was done to keep the U.S happy. Just in case the title is changed: "Glenn Greenwald says Germany's NSA investigation is an illusion to keep US happy" is the title of the linked article [1] and the title on HN right now.
