[font size=5]Guessing the Sentences in Glenn Greenwald’s New Edward Snowden Book[/font]
By Juli Weiner
.... Without further delay: our game! Advanced Guess the Sentences gameplay can be fairly intricate—think Bridge plus Hearts but mathier—but for purposes of greater audience participation and lack of coffee, we’ll play a simpler version this morning. The rules: one, predict the sentences in Greenwald’s forthcoming book; two, no cheating (if a player—let’s call him “John Brennan”—can have his boys hack into Greenwald’s computer and open up his Word drafts, he or she will be disqualified).
Onward!
“As upset that Edward was that he wrote The Cuckoo’s Calling, there was not much he could do about it.”
“I knew Edward was a fearful flyer, but the stress-induced month-long layover in the Moscow airport . . . I think it bordered on histrionic.”
“He’d go through the Times wedding announcements and point out the couples who’ve lied about meeting on OKCupid. I guess he’d had a lot of downtime during his time at the N.S.A.”
“We were offered the cover of Rolling Stone, but we turned it down, saying that playing into the cult-of-personality thing would overshadow the larger issue at hand. In hindsight, that was a mistake, because you know who the editors put on the cover instead? That’s right: Johnny Depp in Native-American-face.”
Your turn: what sentences do you expect/hope to see in Greenwald’s book? Play along in the comments!

"At one point in time, Snowden thought PRISM software was randomly sending calls of his friends to his office. A couple weeks later he realized he had CFA(call forward always) enabled on his cell phone."
The "president jeb"
Crow Shrub) thing. He's my worst nightmare, worst because, while there are plenty of deranged wingnuts out there, he might actually happen. Wow, I didn't expect to engage in a substantive discussion (it's over now, by the way), but as for "the surveillance state," it's been there for a very long time (hence no "revelations" from SNOWDEN/GREENWALD) and will be there long after you and I settle our differences (meaning "forever" .
