Glenn Greenwald in the Cross-Hairs?

UPDATE #3 (see others at bottom):  NYT profiles Greenwald, the "blogger" tonight.   Note Andrew Sullivan quote: “I think he has little grip on what it actually means to govern a country or run a war. He’s a purist in a way that, in my view, constrains the sophistication of his work.” Of course, Sully, we know, has run a country and governed a war. 

Earlier: Greenwald, a semi-friend for several years now, was already no doubt getting probed by U.S. for his part in the big NSA/phone leak yesterday.  Now he's back, just a day later, with the big PRISM internet spying scoop (along with Wash Post writers).  So: doubly in trouble now with the state (ironically in same week as start of trial of Bradley Manning, who Glenn has strongly backed).

Roger Simon of Politico jokes in a tweet: "Glenn Greenwald is an American working for British publication & living mainly in South America. So how many drones circling him now?"   But here's Glenn's own tweet:  "I wish English language were broader so I could express my simultaneous contempt & mockery for the investigation threats emanating from DC."  He'll be on Piers Morgan show tonight.  Another tweet from him tonight:  "The dam has broke - let the water and sunshine flow."

UPDATE #1 On Piers Morgan just now, Greenwald said he was taking courage from leakers who risked so much to get story out.  Promised more of his own investigations even as others promise to probe him.  Says time long overdue for debate over this now that out in sunshine.  End the false claims of just saving us from "terrorism."  He'll be with Lawrence O'Donnell at 10 pm.

Bart Gellman of Wash Post now on.  Mentions of the irony of all the "jokes" about Google as world's greatest intelligence agency, ha ha.  Asked about Google etc. denying they are working with government, Gellman says not shocked they are denying--maybe they are basing it on a "technical" clause  but he has talked to someone who has taken part. Then Piers brings on Sen. Bernie Sanders who reminds us he voted against the Patriot Act.

UPDATE #2  Now Piers welcomes famed attorney Alan Dershowitz, who says he's concerned about revelations but then spends nearly all his time blasting  (almost while sputtering) Glenn Greenwald, accusing him of being attached to "radical ideology" who has exaggerated things for a long time in many cases.  Claims Obama not out to probe journalists and politicos and harmless individuals but admits 'we don't know what we don't know."
