Is Glenn Greenwald a liar?

[DisgustipatedinCA]

29. I hadn't read that Greenwald article before. Thanks for brining it to my attention.

There's nothing in the material that makes Greenwald a liar. To the contrary, he goes to some lengths to show that the government wasn't being very truthful about their rationale for killing him. I still don't know that I agree with the conclusion that Greenwald drew, but he did build a good case, and he certainly was not lying. I think the excerpted paragraph below gets to the point:

"According to Priest's reporting back then, the Obama administration was trying to execute Awlaki as early as late 2009 - exactly when the Obama officials who spoke to the NYT admit that they had no evidence that he was anything other than a "propagandist" and this his targeted killing would therefore be unconstitutional and illegal. (That's also a reminder that not only Awlaki, but at least two other still-unknown Americans, have been placed on Obama's kill list). Priest then added that the cause of Awlaki's being placed on the kill list were his "academic" discussions with Nidal Hasan: exactly what the NYT's Obama-official-sources now say are protected free speech that could not be used to legally justify his killing"
