More quotes by Glenn Greenwald
[N]othing is less reliable than unchecked claims from political officials that their secret conduct is justified by National Security Threats and the desire to Keep Us Safe.
Glenn Greenwald

Glenn Greenwald
Fearlessness can be its own form of power.
Glenn Greenwald
He's the President—it's the responsibility of every citizen to criticize aggressively when they think it's warranted.
Glenn Greenwald
As a journalist, I think the only question that you ask yourself - once you've determined that the material is authentic - is what is in the public interest to know. And then you go about and report it.
Glenn Greenwald
You can offer the ability to citizens to choose from one of the two parties and elect their leaders as much as you want. But democracy is an illusion - a sham - if the most significant acts taken by those leaders are kept concealed from the citizenry.
Glenn Greenwald
The same president who has insisted that core moralism drives him has brought America to its lowest moral standing in history.
Glenn Greenwald
It's so much easier to debate people when you can pretend that they hold moronic position that they don't actually believe.
Glenn Greenwald
To permit surveillance to take root on the Internet would mean subjecting virtually all forms of human interaction, planning, and even thought itself to comprehensive state examination.
