Journalist in US surveillance case: More to come

HONG KONG (AP) — The journalist who exposed classified U.S. surveillance programs leaked by an American defense contractor said Tuesday that there will be more 'significant revelations' to come from the documents.
"We are going to have a lot more significant revelations that have not yet been heard over the next several weeks and months," said Glenn Greenwald of The Guardian.

Greenwald told The Associated Press the decision was being made on when to release the next story based on the information provided by Edward Snowden, a 29-year-old employee of government contractor Booz Allen Hamilton who has been accused by U.S. Senate intelligence chairwoman Sen. Dianne Feinstein of California of committing an "act of treason" that should be prosecuted.

Greenwald's reports last week exposed widespread U.S. government programs to collect telephone and Internet records.

"There are dozens of stories generated by the documents he provided, and we intend to pursue every last one of them," Greenwald said.

Snowden's whereabouts were not immediately known on Tuesday, although he was believed to be staying somewhere in Hong Kong.

No charges have been brought and no warrant has been issued for the arrest of Snowden.

Did you see Greenwald on Morning Joe yesterday? He got into it a little bit with that c*nt Mika Brzezinski.

Greenwald is a member of the professional left, it is what it is.

I'm a be frank, if this "whistleblower" is not another media façade, then he's an idiot for throwing away a $200,000 surveillance job with no highschool diploma in the bushes

Now, he'll might end up bury in the bushes

What does at even mean? Can you explain it?

The "professional left's" revenge. This is what happens when you shyt on your base for 4 and half years. Now you have no one.

I just realized something beautiful: these politicians and high-ranking military personel don't know how to do the technical work in this "war". They will have to rely on common people with knowledge on how to develop algorithms, data mine, process server information, "hack", design viruses. People who are educated and possess critical thinking skills.

Now I understand what Greenwald was hinting at earlier.

I will need you to elaborate on this point a bit? If the Department of Defense wishes to train forces in conducting cyber-warfare, they have the ability to change mission objectives and bring their personnel up to speed. Furthermore, a number of government agencies fund University research projects and provide internships, fellowships, and scholarships to students attending top Universities.

critical thinking is very subjective and is not necessarily broadly applicable across disciplines. The skills required to solve a math problem are not necessarily the skills required to solve a legal problem or a policy issue. This point is overstated at best.

Perhaps. I would say that, after removing ambiguity, finding solutions for either is rooted in logic, be it formal (math and computer science), or informal (legal philosophy). I agree the point is overstated though.

Americans don't care... This whole thing is so blatantly partisan it's hilarious

Fair point, but I did not work my original statement in the proper context. I was trying to imply due to the massive amount of trained people to run surveillance programs of this multitude, and the kind of access these people have, it is Greenwald's opinion that this will lead to more leaks.

I agree, especially for people growing up in the "anon" and "pirate bay" internet era.

Furthermore, a number of government agencies fund University research projects and provide internships, fellowships, and scholarships to students attending top Universities.

I understand completely considering that is what I am doing right now. I have no issue with governments, only criminal or unconstitutional behavior in governments.

Americans don't care...

How much of the population do you think cared for desegregating schools in the 1950s?

It doesn't make it right.

Country felt the same with Reagan and the Iran-Contra affair:

Fortunately some people aren't as shallow as others.
