Glenn Greenwald

I haven't followed this case that closely, so I can't opine on every aspect of it.

But what clearly seems to be the case, and I did look at this article a few days ago when it came out or maybe yesterday,

even though I didn't know I was going to talk about it with you, it was my impression.

There were so many aspects of the story where you're like, there's so many obvious follow-ups that just aren't in here.

I wasn't even aware that there was other reporting that they should have been confronted with.

But that I do think is something that happens quite often.

And it's a big problem with journalism.

First of all, I think one of the big problems here is that this is a highly consequential action.

You can call it a war or not a war if you want.

I personally regard it as a war when we send our Air Force and bomb the crap out of multiple cities in a country, including their capital.

After we have a massive military buildup and spend months bombing their boats off the international waters of their coast with the CIA covert operation inside the country that has lasted many months, invade their country with our military, take their leader, bring him back to Washington, and then have the president declare the United States now in charge of that country, ruling that country, governing that country.

To me, that's a war, but you can call it whatever you want.

And also, we don't know how...

Far this is going to go.

President Trump himself has said this may not be the end.

We may put troops on the ground.

He said he's not afraid of that.

He's happy to do that if that's necessary.

So there's a lot more that can happen.

But even in terms of what has happened up to this point, there's two problems, major problems with it.
