13. Greenwald on Bill Maher: systematic attack on whistle blowers

GLENN GREENWALD: Right, except there is this thing the Constitution that does say that there's a guaranteed a free press. The reason for that is because the founders knew and I think anybody who pays minimal attention to any politics anywhere knows that when people in power can operate in the dark, inevitably they have abuse that power. So you need outside forces to bring light and transparency to what they’re doing and one of the ways you do that is through journalism and through guaranteeing a free press. That is its purpose to provide a check on their power.

Why would Edward Snowden want to come back to the United States? A country that has a systematic attack on whistle blowers--

There is no whistle blower where people in government don’t say that. Daniel Ellsberg is considered a hero by everybody. You just said “he’s no Ellsberg.” Go look what the Nixon administration said in 1971 when he wasn’t a hero. He's helping the Russians. He's probably a Russian spy. He's putting men and women in harm's way. People in the national security establishment, like Richard Clarke, even if they’re well intentioned, hate transparency, they want to work in secrecy. They say this in every instance that somebody brings transparency to them, you are helping the terrorists.
