I disagree. What is an evil man who does good?

"Sadly, the US government seems to believe that foreigners have absolutely no rights at all, and therefore are not concerned with any global reaction"

Many US journalists believe this, too. It disgusts me how many of them complain that some of the Snowden revelations went beyond reporting on the privacy of Americans - as though the privacy of non-Americans (also known as "95% of the planet") are irrelevant. They're jingoists and authoritarians who went into the wrong line of work.

Someone should have pointed him in this direction.

I wonder his opinion on the direction of reddit, if is he remotely aware of its current conditions

Question: How do you feel about the fact that the moderators of /r/worldnews have a policy of filtering any story from The Intercept as "Opinion"?

Reddit is practicing censorship, pure and simple.

From the comments I've seen from the responsible moderators, the people doing this are partisan Democrats who want to conceal these stories because they perceive that it reflects poorly on Obama.

The reporting we have done has won the Pulitzer, the Polk, and basically every other news reporting prize in the west.

Only on Reddit are our stories deemed something other than "news".

It's pitiful.

It's worth checking out. Lots of well written questions and responses.

Glenn Greenwald's comment on Cryptome.

Question: Cryptome has recently made the astonishing claim that somebody else with access to the Snowden archive intends to dump the entire thing raw.

They've subsequently clarified that they were only expressing a hope - not anything based on any knowledge whatsoever of anything relevant. I would be very, very, very, very shocked if anything like that happened.
