Iraq War vet Paul Rieckhoff got journalist Glen Greenwald so miffed over saying that Snowden’s leaks put American lives at risk that he exploded with the exclamation, “that’s bull$#%&!!” will debating the issue on Bill Maher’s HBO show.
Watch below:
I have to say, both sides make a good case, but Greenwald loses when he gets so histrionic about the issue while Rieckhoff stays pretty steady with his criticism. However, Greenwald is right that we have to believe the government when they say Americans have died because of the leaks, while Rieckhoff wants to err on the side of caution without evidence. Even so, Greenwald seems to say he believes one side just because he wants to, as a blind partisan in this issue.
