PIERS MORGAN: *proves Glenn's point*

KBJ doubles down: “My biggest concern is that your view has the First Amendment hamstringing the government in significant ways.” That is, quite literally, the entire point of the First Amendment—of the entire Bill of Rights.

❗️ SAY IT WITH US: "U.S. foreign policy is not and has never been motivated by human rights or democratic values!" Glenn Greenwald and Erik Sperling discuss two cases that explode this myth: "Saudi Arabia tends to be the most prominent example, but Pakistan is such an important one as well." "We don't even make any pretense about the fact—and, again, this was done under Biden—that you have this incredibly popular leader," Imran Khan, "who was democratically elected." "And because that will of the Pakistani people didn't serve the American and Israeli vision of that region, we just said, 'Yeah, get rid of him and we'll support this military junta.'"

PIERS MORGAN: "This argument: that these seven guys have all had their lives turned upside down, they've all been named, [...] whereas the Jane Doe has remained anonymous. Is that fair?" GLENN GREENWALD: "No, it's totally unfair — and here I'm speaking as both a journalist and a lawyer." "This whole thing was triggered by the fact that somebody brought a civil lawsuit, a lawyer, who is working on contingency, which means that if he wins money, he will stand to win millions of dollars." "I hope it doesn't shock anybody, but oftentimes in civil litigation, people motivated by money do lie." "In order to investigate this case, we have to know who the seven defendants are, so we can try and talk to people who know them — but also, we have to know who she is!"
