Journalist Glenn Greenwald delivered a 45-minute talk to the Socialism 2013 conference that took place in Chicago on June 27-30. He is the journalist who spearheaded the news reporting by The Guardian newspaper of the revelations of NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden concerning internet spying by the U.S. government and its close allies, including Britain and Canada.
Greenwald was introduced by author and filmmaker Jeremy Scahill, whose new movie Dirty Wars casts a spotlight on the crimes committed by the U.S. in the name of the “war on terror.”
“What Glenn Greenwald has done with his reporting over these last weeks,” Scahill said in his introduction, “is to shake the foundations of power in Washington and in the national security state.”
