More quotes by Glenn Greenwald
I don't have a 'side'—I'm responsible for what I say and nothing else.
Glenn Greenwald
Secrecy is the linchpin of abuse of power, . . . its enabling force. Transparency is the only real antidote.
Glenn Greenwald
Whether a country is actually free is determined not by how well-rewarded its convention-affirming media elites are and how ignored its passive citizens are but by how it treats its dissidents, those posing authentic challenges to what the government does.
Glenn Greenwald
The many pro-surveillance advocates I have debated since Snowden blew the whistle have been quick to echo [Google CEO] Eric Schmidt's view that privacy is for people who have something to hide. But none of them would willingly give me the passwords to their email accounts, or allow video cameras in their homes.
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
I know it's a really hard concept to process, but the fact that Govt accuses someone of being a Terrorist doesn't mean they are.
Glenn Greenwald
Snowden has enough [sic] information to cause harm to the U.S. government in a single minute than any other person has ever had. 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.
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
[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
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
Only In America can a renowned and devoted terrorism supporter like Peter King be the arbiter of national security and treason.
Glenn Greenwald
He's the President—it's the responsibility of every citizen to criticize aggressively when they think it's warranted.

Glenn Greenwald
Of all the views that are detached from reality, the most delusional is that Christians are persecuted in the U.S.
Glenn Greenwald
There is a massive apparatus within the United States government that with complete secrecy has been building this enormous structure that has only one goal, and that is to destroy privacy and anonymity, not just in the United States but around the world.
Glenn Greenwald
There is thus little or no ability for an internet user to know when they are being covertly propagandized by their government, which is precisely what makes it so appealing to intelligence agencies, so powerful, and so dangerous.
Glenn Greenwald
Terrorist', noun: 1. Someone my government tells me is a terrorist 2. Someone my President decides to kill.
Glenn Greenwald
The bottom layer of the right-wing noise machine.
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
The definition of an extreme authoritarian is one who is willing blindly to assume that government accusations are true without any evidence presented or opportunity to contest those accusations.
