Glenn Greenwald
I don't have a 'side'—I'm responsible for what I say and nothing else.
Glenn Greenwald
It’s just simply the fact that the NSA does not think anybody should be able to communicate anywhere on the Earth without them being able to invade it.
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
We should not be comfortable or content in a society where the only way to remain free of surveillance and repression is if we make ourselves as unthreatning, passive, and compliant as possible.
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
