Retweeted by Ben Domenech@EWErickson @umarjones he might say anti American imperialism/hegemony but I think that's thin.@umarjones My case would be that he, like Assange, is not in favor of the success of America so much as arguing for moral equivalence.Others disagree? RT @umarjones: I must say, I think the labeling of Greenwald as "anti-American" in @thetransom is off and wrong.RT @JonahNRO: Very interesting take by Reuel Gerecht on NSA debate. http://t.co/fZgXIiOIwO@JimmySky @robertcaruso Pretty obvious. http://t.co/riiJO1LdfLOn Donald Berwick's romantic notions about health-care rationing, in 2010: "Dangerous to our health" http://t.co/59cWMNyCsI
