He has a point that's valid I'm sure, government agencies gonna do what government agencies gonna do BUT then there's the Boston Marathon bombing - I'm sure Greenwald if the two brothers had been caught beforehand would have described them the same way, as harmless lost youths who'd never really have followed through, victims of more fear mongering by the powers that be.
The Secret Service chases down a lot of mentally ill kooks who threaten the president, knowing that they are almost certainly harmless but it only takes being wrong about one of them.
So easy to be a critic, and the irony is that people like Greenwald are doing the exact same thing as those they accuse - whipping up fear of the government with anecdotal evidence.
