Greenwald’s ideology, it appears that much like Snowden he had within him this western value approach to situations showing a clear interest in pursuing the subjective ‘right’.

Of course not; although we know what our parents told us, we also know that we saw a real monster. It is not until we are shown the truth that we finally understand the words that were told to us many times before.
