And because Greenwald is a total drama queen, it means that Barton Gellman being under the aegis of the Washington Post (did someone mention recently that there is a Club, and that there are benefits to being in it not available to the ordinary reporter - odd that that disappears whenever Point the First is involved) has nothing to do with whether the Administration has or has not molested or disappeared him.<br /><br />Once again, total astonishment that moneyed interests aren't just beating down the door of Castle Driftglass offering phat contracts for perspicacious insight and obsessive point-missing.

If Greenwald cannot enter the US because of his role in the Snowden revelations, it is not merely because he "received" the papers or writes stories about them. He's either more culpable in their acquisition or he likes the flair it adds to his martyrdom pitch.
