Investigative reporter Glenn Greenwald (shown) has promised to name victims of NSA warrantless surveillance, calling such an expose “imminent” in an interview with Fox News. Such an exposé may prove to be a game-changer in congressional and public debate on granting the NSA unconstitutional warrantless surveillance powers.
Greenwald has been the primary recipient of information about the once-secret NSA programs revealed by former NSA contractor Edward Snowden. Greenwald told Shepard Smith of Fox News that his next revelations will involve naming names about how NSA surveillance has strayed from merely going after terrorists to engaging in politics:
Greenwald: All the people on whom we are reporting consented to it. They participated in the story. They spoke on camera. We are publishing video.
Smith: Will we recognize these names and some of these people?
Greenwald: You will definitely recognize some of these names and some of these people.
Smith: From politics? From Government? From what?
Greenwald: From a little of all of that.
Smith: Okay...
Greenwald: I can't give hints. But they are people who, when you see that they are the targets you will see that they have nothing to do with terrorism and that they are definitely people engaged in political activism that's controversial.
Greenwald said that revelations will be published on his new website, The Intercept, but refused to state a specific date of publication. “The story is imminent,” Greenwald told Smith June 23. “You will definitely recognize some of these names and some of these people.”

Even ignoring this, a Republican would have been hounded out of office for just some of what Snowden has alleged.
Beginning to get the feeling this guy is all bull! I repeat, he needs to cr@p or get off the pot.(He needs to name them or STFU)
bump
I really understand where you're coming from, and normally I would heartily agree, strongly based on what you said.
I'll go out on a limb, though, and say you're probably going to be surprised.
I subscribe to his youtube channel, and he's dropping weird hints that the people the NSA is spying on is US, and people like us.
I absolutely think the center of mass of NSA spying is the "Mom, Baseball, and apple-pie" set. I think Uncle Sam has gone out and axe-murdered the very people who loved him.
Romney...and would explain why when he was winning debates he sudden;y acted like My Little Pony against Obama.
Yeah, it’s starting to look a little like a combed over tease... If they have names they need to release all of them... Not 6 liberals when those are the only liberals on the list... while 800 conservatives are listed... Put it all out or shut up about it.
LOL - it's starting to feel that way...
If they all gave permission we can assume he’s only releasing the names of established members of dem victim groups.
