Attacking? WTF are you injecting? Why did he shop his "story" around?
I ask yet again, do you really believe this "revelation" will have a negative affect on Obamabots?
Who cares about Obamabots? i’ll settle for waking up normal patriotic Americans who believed the NSA and CIA were targeting the enemy and not us.
And it was you who was criticizing him for “breaking the law” and “being no different than Manning”. So yes, id call that an attack on him.
This man, unlike Manning, was careful to not release anything that would risk individuals in the field. He only exposed the factual wrongdoing of the intelligence community. Illegally searching the domestic communications of everyone in America in flagrant disregard of the 4th amendment.
Why shop his story around? To find someone who will print it? To find someone who won’t make it into a personality story about him until a week later? To gauge a newspapers balls not to turn on him? To find a reporter intelligent enough to explain what he is exposing?
There must be a 100 reasons to shop it around. BTW, if his intent was to make money, he could have “shopped” it to several foreign governments. He didn’t.
Why did he shop his story around?
How many newspaper editors want to run afoul of the NSA or CIA? Would you want that headache?
