Glenn Greenwald Promises More Snowden Stories -- The Atlantic
Glenn Greenwald, who recently announced his departure from the Guardian, told conference of reporters on Monday that he had more stories to come based on the leaked documents from NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden. Those stories, he said, would include examples of the U.S. spying on American citizens. Greenwald spoke by video to the Inter American Press Association, and asked his colleagues there to work together against a "sustained attack" on press freedom in the Americas. Greenwald, an American, is based in Brazil.
Greenwald's latest Snowden story was published earlier on Monday in Le Monde, starting something of a war of words between France and the U.S. The story revealed that Americans have collected data from over 70 million telephone calls made in France during one 30-day period. France summoned the U.S. ambassador on Monday over those claims, even though France pretty much does the same sort of surveillance on its own citizens. The story comes one day after a different batch of Snowden reporting, this time in Der Spiegel, revealed that the U.S. had hacked into the email account of the president of Mexico.
