In reply to the discussion: Greenwald: 4 points about the 1971 FBI break-in [View all]Blue_Tires
(57,596 posts)I'm guessing the vetting is being done by one or two people in an office? Does he need to hire more researchers, temps, whatever? It's one thing to do it "incrementally", it's another thing to slow it to an absolute crawl -- Just because you're satisfied being spoon-fed *one* drip of the faucet every few weeks doesn't mean everyone else is... People told me to be patient last summer; but I've only read a marginal amount of new, real information since then (and on a specifically narrow topic, to boot)...At this rate I'll be collecting social security before the rest of it comes out...
There are also several big-name global players who have hardly (or never) been mentioned in the releases, even though theoretically their names should be all over hundreds of thousands of pages based on what's been released so far...Not to mention what should be a much, much wider topical scope of NSA wrongdoing and how it is connected to U.S. foreign policy/military action...Which unfortunately is giving me a sneaking suspicion that Greenwald is intentionally holding back or protecting some institution or something...
Greenwald is clearly playing an angle here with what information gets disseminated to whom and when; which on the surface is not necessarily a bad thing if you're a believer of the end justifying the means (of course the bottom line is always what that 'end' is)...My only wish is that he'd at least be upfront in that the people's right to know takes a distant backseat to whatever 'gameplan' he's in the process of executing for the present moment...
I do agree that things are coming to a head soon -- But I don't believe it will have anything to do with the NSA when it does...
