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.

Greenwald has been dealing with this attack for a while now, and has commented on it several times. His answers are not hard to find. Links: http://utdocuments.blogspot.co.uk/2013/12/questionsresponses... http://nymag.com/daily/intelligencer/2014/01/greenwald-not-h...

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...


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.


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.
