    1:11:00 question by stuffed shirt answered in typical greenwald fashion. I was looking for this video, specifically for that moment, I had seen it some time ago. Thanks for posting. Thanks for posting all the greenwald stuff. The man is a lion.

    I'm amazed at Greenwald's restraint on vocabulary and tone when confronted by blatantly dishonest people like Lee Casey. However, Roger Pilon's question was really too much and we could feel Greenwald boiling inside. I wouldn't be able to contain myself and would just call the guy the "greatest hypocrite in the world". He accuses Greenwald of lacking specific elements in his denunciations of Bush, but fails to point to specific denunciations lacking elements. Pure hypocrisy!

    is this the best person the Bush family could come up with to debate Glenn (that is funny) especially since it is apparent to me that The Bushes or their supporter- wrote the script this man is READING from. Funny- Glenn rarely reads and when he does it a quote

    Iraq 'started out as an effort to build democracy'? News to me.

    Like an idiot I used my name for the UA-cam set up. I am very paranoid over this but for the first time I will speak. Mr. Greenwald is so quickly becoming a hero of mine and I hope that he can continually be this, despite making himself a target for powers that everywhere.

      sorry typo, should read powers that be. Mr. Greenwald has announced that he will be releasing a list of names that the U.S. govt. has been targeting.

    I think Lee Casey has aspergers....also when he spoke, all I heard was "blah blah blah"! Keep up the good work Glenn, you're an American HERO!
