The Guardian's Glenn Greenwald, who published several articles about National Security Agency surveillance programs based on information leaked by fugitive former security contractor Edward Snowden, has struck a deal with publisher Metropolitan Books to pen a book on NSA surveillance, the Atlantic Wire reported Thursday.

An announcement from Metropolitan Books said that the book will contain "new revelations exposing the extraordinary cooperation of private industry," according to the Atlantic Wire.

Greenwald's NSA tell-all is scheduled to be published in March 2014.

[rtracey]

3. Ahhhhhh the American Dream

It's all about the cash.......

4. You mean I have to wait all that time to ignore it?

[Orrex]

5. Maybe he an B37 can get a joint book deal.

[navarth]

6. I will look forward to it. nt

7. Good, people might learn more about the subject.

[revmclaren]

8. Ahhh......The reason for the season.....

A fat paycheck. Its all about the Benjamin's. Big shock!

9. Yes - you can't trust ANYONE in politics that publishes a book.

ON EDIT: This post is not to suggest that Obama was incorrect in publishing a book, but rather that it is utterly ridiculous to criticize a journalist and writer for publishing a book about an important political incident.

10. So Greenwald is "in politics"?

What office is he running for?

[Maedhros]

11. I didn't say he's a candidate.

He's a political writer, which puts him (partially) within the sphere of politics.

In any case, your point is moot. It is ridiculous to criticize a writer for publishing a book.

14. Maedhros-You wrote:

'It is ridiculous to criticize a writer for publishing a book.'

So you fully support juror B37 from the Zimmerman trial writing a book about her experiences? Right? Or is it TOO SOON! Hey, by your own statement, she has every right to.



The love for Greenwald is powerful stuff here in DU land!

[Maedhros]

16. Is juror B37 a writer?

So how is the comparison relevant?

[revmclaren]

18. Do you get to choose whos a writer now?

If she writes a book and its published SHE'S A WRITER! Thats how it works.

[revmclaren]

19. So far shes dropped the book deal idea

(for now) because of the Trial backlash. But if she does publish, in say A YEAR, then of course you will support her.

(NOT!)

[Maedhros]

21. Greenwald is a professional writer and has been doing so for over a decade.

He has had multiple books published and writes for a respected news organization. It is ridiculous to criticize someone who writes for a living because they are writing for a living.

G37's profession is irrelevant, as is what she might publish.

You're really reaching here. Maybe try a different tactic? This one isn't really working.

[revmclaren]

22. So.....

Just because your his greatest fan doesn't mean millions of us ARE. A writer is a writer. You are the one stretching. So...when Greenwald wrote his first published book, he wasn't a writer? How many books makes one a writer o' great one?

[revmclaren]

24. This post is FUN!!

But work calls. Keep up the good fight people.

Remember, no matter what side you are on on this and other issues, at least you
are involved!

Peace and later.

12. Here is the cover:

[JoePhilly]

13. So he's going to reveal these new revelations, next year?

Sounds urgent.

[Joe Hyperion]

15. You don't want the revelations to affect certain politicians running in 2014?

I understand.

[revmclaren]

17. So he's protecting the administration....

that he's trying to out...by publishing his book next year????



Help me out here folks.....

Is he the savior of the American people?

Is he the protector of the Obama administration?

Is he a greedy manipulator?

I'm sooooo %$#@*&^ confused!!!

[JoePhilly]

25. If these revelations are so important ... why wait to tell us?

If Glenn's intent is to stop America from being so evil, why is he going to wait to reveal the information that will force our government to change its ways?

Reminds me of the local TV morning show host that declares ...

There is a common object in your house that could kill you and your family. Tune in tomorrow night at 11pm to find out what it is, and how you can protect your life and that of your family.

Sounds scary. What could it be? Are my kids in danger right now??!!??!!

So you wait ... and you tune in ...

Welcome to tonight's show. There is a common household object that could kill you and your family. What is this object? The Kitchen Knife! That's right, I said it. Its the Kitchen Knife. And you probably have 5 or 6 of them in a drawer, right in the kitchen. You need to get a knife block and keep it on top of the refrigerator where the kids can't reach those knives.

Cut to a knife commercial.

20. Yep.

[woo me with science]

23. Excellent news. nt

[railsback]

26. Too bad

By 2014, nobody will give a shit because some other shiny object will be distracting them.

27. book write

It was such a great opportunity to visit this site,you can gain new interesting topics.I want to stick on this one so that I can update more details about this one.

28. Write Book

This seems to be a very timely book on NSA surveillance. The NSA most likely has access to the books contents before the publisher does, which is a shame.
