Guardian Journalist to Write Book on Surveillance

By JULIE BOSMAN

Glenn Greenwald, the journalist who first reported on a trove of classified documents leaked by Edward J. Snowden, will write a book about National Security Agency surveillance, his publisher announced on Wednesday. Mr. Greenwald’s articles on the cache of documents, revealing widespread surveillance by the United States government, appeared in The Guardian newspaper last month. Mr. Snowden, the former intelligence contractor, is currently in diplomatic limbo at the Moscow airport and has applied for asylum in Russia.

The book was acquired by Metropolitan Books, an imprint of Henry Holt, and is expected to be published in March 2014. It will expose “the extraordinary cooperation of private industry and the far-reaching consequences of the government’s program, both domestically and abroad,” the publisher said in a statement.

1. Kick! n/t

2. Meanwhile Snowgoose joins Bradley Manning under the bus

while GG shops a book about his wikipedia downloads. That's entertainment, Libertarian style.

4. Looking forward to the next big news. n/t

16. Jim Carrey to play Greenwald in the movie? I think he's the only one capable

of capturing the essence that is Glenn.

31. I am looking forward to the book. nt

3. ROFL

Don't do what you perceive to be the "right thing" in MURICA unless you want to end your life and enrich a journalist.

Couldn't happen to a nicer, hardcore capitalist like Snowden.

Way to go, dude. Now Greenwald's mansion overlooking the poor neighborhoods of Brazil will be even bigger and shinier than before.

5. Well, since others might be making money off posting about it, why not? (nt)

[ProSense]

6. LOL!

Good defense!

[whatchamacallit]

7. Just keep hurling shit at the wall, Pro

Something's gonna stick...

[ProSense]

8. You think a post about Greenwald's book deal is "hurling shit at the wall," whatchamacallit?

[whatchamacallit]

9. Yes.

[ProSense]

10. Why? n/t

[Whisp]

11. probably because it's gotten really embarrassing

to be a GG or Snowboy supporter but there is no graceful way to back out other than to not join in on these threads at all and some will never be able to achieve that grace.

Which I have noticed, thankfully some people are wising up to the Scammer Bros. and the pom poms are put back in the garage.

[whatchamacallit]

13. Wrong

but please continue foaming at the mouth.

[ProSense]

15. This

"but please continue foaming at the mouth."

...is "foaming at the mouth": http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=profile&uid=212880&sub=trans

21. I suppose I should be awash in shame...

[NuclearDem]

32. You know, for a die-hard Obama supporter

You seem to really like transparency.

[whatchamacallit]

12. Obviously your reason for posting this was not to serve as Greenwald's literary agent

What exactly is the implication of Greenwald's "book deal" and does it apply to all who write books? In other words, where are you going with this?

[ProSense]

14. Why don't

"What exactly is the implication of Greenwald's 'book deal' and does it apply to all who write books? In other words, where are you going with this?"

...you tell me? You're the one characterizing it as "hurling shit at the wall."

[whatchamacallit]

17. Coy doesn't suit you

Neither does your daily brute force affront to our intelligence.

[Whisp]

19. you're so cute when you're mad.

and I've noticed you've been cute in almost every thread on this topic for quite some time.

You know GG has been proven to have a store of sock puppets to use to protect himself and pat himself on the back for the amazing good works he does.

I found that to be very interesting, don't you? That would fit into his character so well, to have socks to support himself.

[whatchamacallit]

23. Delusional

I learned who Glenn Greenwald was reading DU. But please continue...

[ProSense]

20. So you can't explain what you meant? You just posted "hurling shit at the wall"

and have no idea what you meant by it?

[whatchamacallit]

22. Give me a break

What is your point with the OP? Do you have one?

[ProSense]

24. What was

"What is your point with the OP? Do you have one?"

...the point of your comment? The point was posting a report about Greenwald's book deal, which evidently upset you so much that you labeled it "hurling shit at the wall"?

You're having trouble explaining what that means.

[whatchamacallit]

26. So funny and weird...

Your post is obviously meant to imply that a book deal is indicative of Greenwald's lack of character. Why not own it? Why the silly peekaboo bullshit?

[ProSense]

29. Wait,

"Your post is obviously meant to imply that a book deal is indicative of Greenwald's lack of character. Why not own it? Why the silly peekaboo bullshit?"

...you're projecting your explanation of my post, but can't explain why you characterized posting a report about Greenwald's book deal as "hurling shit at the wall"?

The "silly peekaboo bullshit" is clearly your inability to explain your own comment.

[whatchamacallit]

30. Deceit is way of life for some

[NuclearDem]

33. In the light of your anti-Snowden/GG/Brandon Toy/any-Obama-critic crusade

Yeah, it is.

[bunnies]

18. I guess Putin was right.

Snowden is like Christmas. To Greenwald.

[allin99]

25. Fabulous. I hope people who have been drawn to this read it, they might learn quite a bit.

[Luminous Animal]

27. +1 His other books are very good.

[AllINeedIsCoffee]

28. Someone just leaked the cover.

[Cha]

34. It will be fiction.. and on the cover will be these mortal words..

"Buy This Book or America Gets It!!!111"
