better why he is doing this. There's nothing he said that I don't agree with.

following Greenwald ever since. I also knew immediately what this leak was about and why it needed to be done. There is another good one discussing this same book with Professor Chomsky ..with a larger audience with questions and answers. I feel the same way and just wish everyone would watch if they don't know what he is about.

"liberty and justice for some", I used to say this aloud in the 70's when we had to recite the pledge of allegiance. I was such a rebel - even in jr. high.

I too watched them all.
Greenwald is a very good thinker and speaker, very solidly founded.
There's a part 11 that explains why he's supportive of the "Occupy" movement, that ties everything together.

This is serious stuff about the rule of law, yet Greenwald is being smeared as "libertarian"???
Greenwald knows his subject and that gives his words authority. As I listened I found myself understanding more about the issue.
No, he isn't supportive of the Obama administration's rulings on constitutional law, because those rulings vindicate and advance upon George W. Bush's precedent and he was dismayed by that precedent.
