Greenwald says the "Snowden ready to come home!" stories were all fake

Maybe Kucherena needs to stop claiming he speaks for Snowden, then...And maybe Glenn should just interview Snowden himself to get the real story instead of calling everyone out after the fact...

"There is nothing wrong with your Snowden News. Do not attempt to adjust the information flow. I am controlling transmission. If I wish to make him louder, I will tweak his nose. If I wish to make him softer, I will whisper sweet nothings into his ear. I will control the data release. I will control public opinion. I can make him roll his eyes, make his heart flutter. I can change his focus to his fiance or sharpen his innocent smile to crystal clarity. For the next 20 years, sit quietly and I will control all that you see and hear about Snowden. I repeat: there is nothing wrong with your Snowden News. You are about to participate in a great adventure. You are about to experience the awe and mystery which reaches from the NSA to – The Outer Siberian Peninsula." -Glenn Greenwald.

or in other words, the head beneficiary of Snowdenalia — it's certainly worked out well for him — not so much for Snowden.
