    Money really well spent

    First-I'd like to leave record that I think my donation and those of everyone else that enabled the ad Glenn has generated was one of the greatest achievements of democracy this decade.

    Second-I’m listening to Arlen freakin' Spector talking about this and unbelievably, I like what I'm hearing. That's a result of Glenn Greenwald's efforts (along with many others, but mainly Glenn)

    Third-I think Glenn has now surpassed Woodward and Bernstein’s efforts with deep throat all by himself and is deserving of whatever accolades could be the result of those actions. Pulitzer-Whatever. Regardless of the outcome. I doubt that I'm the first to mention it, but I can't read all the posts here before the next column!

    Arlen Spector. Unbelievable. It feels like the tide is turning. Go Glenn.
