This morning Meet the Press host David Gregory asked columnist Glenn Greenwald why he shouldn’t be legally prosecuted for having apparently assisted renegade National Security Agency whistle-blower Edward Snowden. Gregory: “To the extent that you’ve aided and abetted Snowden, even in his current movements, why shouldn’t you, Mr. Greenwald, be charged with a crime?” Greenwald: “[I think it’s] pretty extraordinary that anybody who would call themselves a journalist would publicly muse about whether or not other journalists should be charged with felonies.”
