Greenwald is no journalist.
While making the rounds with South American media, Greenwald issued what one could easily take as a blatant threat to the United States and its allies.
“Snowden has enough information to cause harm to the U.S. government in a single minute than any other person has ever had,” Greenwald said in an interview in Rio de Janeiro with the Argentinean daily La Nacion.
“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.”
Coming from the guy who got “direct access” completely wrong and, as of this week, has refused to reveal the latest bombshell documents he claims to have, I don’t consider this a very credible threat. With that said, this isn’t journalism.
What’s really ironic is the United States is one of few countries that would even tolerate his behavior. The countries Edward Snowden has sought to flee to wouldn’t. If Greenwald were delivering similar threats to Russia, Ecuador, China, or Venezuela, he would shoot to the top of their enemies list. And they wouldn’t simply condemn his behavior or ask him to stop, they would lock him up and throw away the key.
