[StanislavPetrov]

Greenwald has been remarkably consistent on his positions about civil liberties for decades - long before Wikileaks was around. He doesn't hide his disgust for authoritarianism or hypocrisy, and has actually been notable for his willingness to be non-partisan in his criticism. It was his disgust for the authoritarianism of the Bush administration that motivated him to start writing about these issues in the first place (I write this as a longtime reader of his). Unfortunately critics of the government can sometimes seem like a partisans when "your guy" is currently running the show. I invite you to read what he was writing back when Bush was president and what he is writing now and see if you see any substantive attitude change.
