	I watched the snowden/poitras documentary a few days ago and it
	wasn't that bad. 

	What I find somewhat puzzling is the fact that greenwald would
	cooperate with 'capitalists' like the ebay owner? Wasn't
	greenwald some kind of 'liberal'?

	Also, is the snowden affair really being handled in a way to
	maximize profits? For whom? 

	It's not as if the snowden affair is some kind of hollywood
	nazi fairy tale. I don't think western imperialists like to be
	reminded what kind of garbage they are.
