Edward Snowden, NSA, Spin

Glenn Greenwald of the Guardian (very good newspaper) with comments on how the US Government and media minions will attempt to smear his name for informing the public on the illicit behavior by the NSA.
Some members of the press even speculate on whether Greenwald should be arrested for informing the public of probable wrongdoing by our government. Is all part of the spin game to distract the public from the main topic and to focus on the dirt on those involved.

The state of Texas is also trying to ban all abortions and close all clinics for the poor. A Texas State senator from Fort Worth filibustered the bill for 11 hours, being required to stand, not allowed to lean on anything, nor use the restroom for the duration of the filibuster.
