Greenwald threatens US
The inventor and most prolific user of sockpuppeting, Glen Greenwald, threatened the US in an interview with Argentinian daily La Nacion by warning that Eddie Snowden, the leaky NSA contractor who is rotting away in a Moscow airport, has some more damaging information on the NSA and the way it gathers information that he’ll release if anything happens to him. From Reuters;
“Snowden has enough information to cause harm to the U.S. government in a single minute than any other person has ever had.”
[…]
“The U.S. government should be on its knees every day begging that nothing happen to Snowden, because if something does happen to him, all the information will be revealed and it could be its worst nightmare.”
From a link to NBC from Ex-PH2;
[Greenwald] said the “literally thousands of documents” taken by Snowden constitute “basically the instruction manual for how the NSA is built.”
“In order to take documents with him that proved that what he was saying was true he had to take ones that included very sensitive, detailed blueprints of how the NSA does what they do,” the journalist said Sunday in a Rio de Janeiro hotel room. He said the interview was taking place about four hours after his last interaction with Snowden.
It sounds to me like we need to lock up Greenwald, too, but, of course, he’d like that. Of course, we can believe Greenwald, because he was the one who fell for the Snowden fantasy about being a Special Forces soldier, so Greenwald is exactly like most other journalists in credibility arena and prone to exaggeration.

Glen wants to be Breannas cellmate, he wants to be Mannings Human Centipede…
So Glenn has shifted his role from reporter to active participant, well that will make it easier now even under the “new rules” within DOJ for them to go after him.
1. CIA operative.
2. Silenced 22 caliber pistol.
3. Target high behind either ear.
4. Threat eliminated.
Any questions?
Sean, still waiting on your sources from your AGR porn chick thread
I wouldn’t suggest locking him up, perhaps making him less visible or helping him disappear might resolve this issue nicely….the Marianas trench has plenty of space for a couple of nutjobs…
The NSA is so compartmentalized and purposefully fragmented that no one has most of a blueprint, let alone a complete one. Greenie is blowing smoke.
Careful what you wish for, Glen m’boy.
Chinese and then Russian intelligence have already gone through his computers and copied all the drives – a little password protection wouldn’t even slow down either country’s computer experts – so all his info is already known. They wouldn’t let him seek sanctuary in either country unless they had a few hours with his machines. Presumably Snowden’s contractor has pieced together what he took, so the US knows everything on those drives too. So who in the world is going to be surprised, let alone threatened, by what he has when and if he releases it? He’s not a spy who KNOWS stuff from decades of working for the other guys, he’s just a nobody of no further value lugging three or four laptops full of information all the big players now know around the world.
The Russians said Snowden could stay, IF he kept his yap shut. Neither Snowden nor Greenwald wants to poke the Bear. They are past-masters at making problems like those two “disappear.”
@9 You are right about the Russians known ability to deal with problem children. IMHO the safest place in the world for Snowden would be right back here in the US under federal protection until he comes to trial. @8 Yes, once they copy and get everything they want from his computers, of what value is he to them anymore? If I were him I would be crapping my pants right now. I would also be pleading with the US Embassy to get me home to American soil. Maybe he isn’t as smart as he makes out to be, at least as far as his decisions about his future prospects in other countries.
Let’s just get the “Burn Notice” guys on Greenwald, shall we?
Greymail, eh? Dangerous game.
I think that what snowden stole,was more then likely pretty low on the intel totem.If he had anything really juicy it would have already come out.let him rot in ussr.
“After all he wants to move to a place of permanent residence and wants to live permanently elsewhere,” the president said.
He recalled that Snowden had been offered to stay in Russia on condition that he stop he political activities. “We have certain relations with the United States and we do not want your activities to damage our relations with the U.S. He said now. You are laughing but I am being serious. He said he wanted to continue his activities, he wanted to fight for human rights and he thought that the U.S. violated certain norms of international law and interfered in private live, and his goal was to fight that. We said: do so but without us. We have other things to fight,” Putin said.
Greenwald may not understand that most folks in the IT business can sort how the NSA does business within a few minutes. But, he is a lawyer living in Brazil to escape tax evasion and other charges, so modern computer science may not his bag.
The structure of NSA has been pretty public since “The Puzzle Palace” – the revelation that the US looks at phone externals as well as messsage externals has been and gone – and after being a three day sensation, hit the ground with a depressing thud. Snowden is rapidly becoming his worst nightmare – a yawner no one gives a damn about.
