Left-wing journalist Glenn Greenwald appears to be feeling his oats these days, and I guess you can't really blame him. He's been denouncing pretty much every surveillance aspect of the War on Terror since the early Bush days, and you have to give him credit for not letting up - unlike most of his left-wing fellow travelers - after Obama took office. Greenwald is the one breaking a lot of the news we're reading today about just how extensively the government mines data, and whether your personally agree with his take on the issue or not, you can kind of understand the fist-pump impulse from a guy who's been pushing a point for a decade and is finally getting his day in the sun.
