    The usual disingenuous bullshit from GG. He's not entirely wrong, but it's a sneaky little sleight of hand considering his vocal anti-China rhetoric. Just recently he was pushing the lab leak bullshit.

    But old Glenn has always had a bit of that neocon streak in him. Asshole wrote this in regards to the Iraq war in his book:

    I had not abandoned my trust in the Bush administration. Between the president's performance in the wake of the 9/11 attacks, the swift removal of the Taliban in Afghanistan, and the fact that I wanted the president to succeed, because my loyalty is to my country and he was the leader of my country, I still gave the administration the benefit of the doubt. I believed then that the president was entitled to have his national security judgment deferred to, and to the extent that I was able to develop a definitive view, I accepted his judgment that American security really would be enhanced by the invasion of this sovereign country.

    He's been trying to deny this little bit of history ever since.

      Earlier today before I saw this thread - I coincidentially had a quickie look at his Wikipedia page.

      Glenn Greenwald

      Immigration

      In 2005, Greenwald criticized illegal immigration, saying that it would result in a "parade of evils". He has since disavowed that belief.

      The section is just that sentence: "This section needs to be updated..."
