More quotes by Glenn Greenwald
When journalists are 'accused' of being 'advocates', that means: challenging and deviating from DC orthodoxies.
Glenn Greenwald
What I do know is that Charlie Hebdo cartoonists have been converted into the closest thing the West has to religious-like martyrs in the war against radical Islam, which means that anything short of pure reverence for them generates tribal rage and vilification.
Glenn Greenwald
What state surveillance actually is is best understood by the NSA's own documents and own words, which I think as you know I happen to have a lot of.
Glenn Greenwald
They're called 'facts', and my role is to amplify those, not cheerlead. And I don't care at all what you think of my motives.
Glenn Greenwald
A citizenry that is aware of always being watched quickly becomes a compliant and fearful one.
Glenn Greenwald
The bottom layer of the right-wing noise machine.
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.

It is hard to imagine having a government more secretive than the United States. Virtually everything that government does, of any significance, is conducted behind an extreme wall of secrecy. The very few leaks that we’ve had over the last decade are basically the only ways that we’ve had to learn what our government is doing.
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
Terrorist', noun: 1. Someone my government tells me is a terrorist 2. Someone my President decides to kill.
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
I think that - not just as a journalist but as a human being - I have the ethical responsibility to avoid actions that can harm innocent people.
Glenn Greenwald
Fearlessness can be its own form of power.
Glenn Greenwald
Nobody really even knows with whom the US is at war, or where. Everyone just knows that it is vital that it continue in unlimited form indefinitely.
Glenn Greenwald
Those [American Jews] who favor the [Israeli] attack on Gaza are certainly guilty of such overwhelming emotional and cultural attachment to Israel and Israelis, that they long ago ceased viewing this conflict with any remnant of objectivity.
Glenn Greenwald
As always with any discussion of elite immunity, it's crucial to note that what makes this development such a particularly warped travesty is that the very same elites who enjoy this immunity have created the world's largest, and the Western world's most oppressive and merciless, penal state for ordinary citizens.

[I]f you want instant, reflexive support for the US government's police and military powers, MSNBC is the place to turn these days.
Glenn Greenwald
When you cheer for the erosion of Dzhokhar Tsarnaevs rights, you're cheering for the erosion of your own.
