greenwald be charged with a crime? >> he adopted the language of a politician that was unhelpful. >> i think it's extraordinary that anybody who would call themselves a journalist, would milkily muse whether someone else. >> he was given materials he reported the materials he investigated the materials he put them out there. he is not aiding and abetting any kind of violation of the espionage act. >> what do you think of edward snowden? >> i think he's a traitor. >> i was annoyed that so much attention was on snowden, not on the information he was leaking. the truth of the matter was he sustained attention enough for there to be a story beyond edward snowden and the story is beyond edward snowden and that does show some wisdom behind the strategy that those who have access to the documents are employing. >> that strategy has seen glen greenwald turn to selected news outlets outside the united states with the snowden material and have those outlets publish accounts of what the nsa has been up to in their country. in the

were he staged a private performance of his play " designated mourner" for the journalists glenn greenwald and friends. while he brought the plate to brazil, since glenn has not returned to the united states into broke the edward snowden story, concerned he would be arrested if he came back. all of that and more coming up. this is democracy now!, democracynow.org, the war and peace report. i'm amy goodman. -- united states is accused o has accused >> today we are one month past the december 31 completion date that the executive council agreed upon for the removal of the most dangerous chemical and just 6 days from the completion date for all required chemicals to be removed from syria. in all of this time, the stern ofime has moved less than 5% the chemicals to the port. >> the renewed pressure comes as the syrian government and opposition leaders wrapped up use talks in geneva today with little progress made so far toward ending a three-year conflict. under report by human rights watch find certain authorities have unlawfully raised entire residential neighborhoods in order to punish civi

. >> glenn greenwald is the journalist leading the way in publishing the edward snowden leaks. in an interview on al jazeera's "the stream", greenwald says he's not expecting much from the presidential speech. >> it's a pr gesture, a way to calm the public, making them think there's reform, when in reality there won't be. the public, at this point, heard enough about what the n.s.a. does, and how invasive it is, and they'll need more than a pretty speech. >> the host of "the stream", lisa fletcher is here with us tonight. greenwald is sitting on thousands if not tens of thousands of documents stolen from the n.s.a. government by edward snowden, who is in russia. plenty are calling from clementsy, but america is divided as to whether he's a whisle blower. >> i raised this idea that edward snowden could have held the nation's security in his hands, in the four laptops he allegedly has with him carrying the documents. greenwald's response is if you are going to be mad, be mad at the newspapers that publish the information, not the guy that stole that. >> the people that published

. >> information provided to greenwald by former nsa contractor edward snowden. it reveals how the government collects phone data, and spies on world leaders. all of this is a concern for privacy advocates along with many americans, but the nsa maintains the program is nothing to fear. according to them they aren't monitoring calls or after the contents of your e-mail. the data helps them to connect the dots between those wish to go harm americans. >>> recommendations it says will improve, not impair the agency. and ready to weigh in is journalist glen greenwald. welcome to the stream. >> great to be with you. thanks for having me. >> yes, take listen to this, president obama discussing the process. >> i'm taking this very seriously. this is the debate that needed to be had. the question that we're going to have to ask, can we accomplish the same goals that this program is intended to accomplish in ways that give the public more confidence that impact the nsa is doing what it's supposed to be doing. >> so here are some of the recommendations. the president plans

greenwald, thank you, sir for joining us. we haven't had you on before. i want to know what you thought of that performance by the governor in the context of what has happened and what we know so far. >> well, i think the governor's performance today was a little stale, to be honest with you, compared to what we're used to seeing, some of the bombastic comments and bravado that he has brought to the state of the states in previous years. but i think in the introit was very well said. bridgegate defines him. it doesn't define us as a state. it defines him and his actions. and while he did not focus much on it today, and i actually think that was appropriate, because we have to get to the business of the state, the truth of the matter is the governor keeps apologizing to the people for his staff betraying him. it's time for the governor to apologize to the people of the state of new jersey and the inconvenience that his leadership and the culture that he created caused the people of ft. lee and bergen county in the state of new jersey now as we move forward

they betrayed him. >> i see what greenwald and ron are saying. you wouldn't just leave it on the table but you would if you truly believe because the only people that could have been involved have already told you there's nothing else to know, we're not involved. and the other two people that have resigned, wildstein -- still can't get over that -- and bill had already resigned. >> but that should have raised questions, why did they resign. >> great point. anyone who knows bridget kelly knows absolutely assuredly that she would not have made a call like this to shut down the bridge -- >> i heard she was a straight arrow, frank. i don't know her but i've heard from other political people that she's a straight arrow. >> she would take an order. >> what about the campaign manager? >> larry, that's why i say to you, we need to get to -- >> spepian. >> we need to get the -- and this is why the most important thing that the governor can do is provide those e-mails without the redactions, being as transparent as possible because it will show who knew wh

let me go to assembly leader louis greenwald. give us a sense of what this widespread of subpoenas tells you about the nature of the investigation now being undertaken. >> well, chris, we've cast this net based upon the advice of counsel from the original e-mails that were turned over and a scan of those e-mails and an investigative review to see where the points of connection were. these subpoenas are discovery tool. they are nothing more than that. they are not to cast blame or take anything from that as to allegations of what role these people may have played. but from being a part of the e-mails and that e-mail chain and the point of connection, we believe that they are key figures that would be able to provide insight as to where is the root of the power of the abuse of power and how deep it goes. you know, our suspicions are clearly that it goes deeper than bridget kelly and that the people on that list would be able to provide that information. >> what do you make of the governor's statement that it was really bridget kell

just yesterday, the guardian newspaper -- let's bring in glenn greenwald with first look media. he was the first to use information given to him by snowden and glenn has a book coming out called "no place to hide." glenn, thanks for being here. let's get right to it. the president announcing five reforms. perhaps the most notable, one has to do with bulk phone call collections. section 215. this collection of metadata is going to continue. it's just a third party may be involved with the database. here's why president obama argues this collection needs to be stored. >> the program grew out of the desire to address a gap identified after 9/11. one of the hijackers made a phone call from san diego to a known al qaeda safe house in yemen. nsa saw that call. but it could not see that the call was coming from an individual already in the united states. >> so the president argues, glenn, that the data is used to map the communications of terrorists so law enforcement can see who they may be in contact with and see it as quickly as possible. if it's stored somewhere else, does it make

greenwald?n order. it's a leap to deny mr. snowden is a whistle-blower given that the federal court decision that he referenced in the second part of the question, which is that the core program that was the first one that we revealed and mr. snowden 1i first met with him cited what caused him to come forward mainly the collection of the matter of a the and the love the americans without regard to suspicion or evidence of wrongdoing that it violates the court guarantee in the united states constitution and they said it isn't even close to somebody that comes forward and reveals a program in the federal court in the united states says it violates the constitution, therefore it is illegal is a classic whistle-blower. on top of the fact the regulations have sparked a debate in the united is evidenced by the hearing we are participating in today about all sorts of things that i think everybody on all sides agree we are better off knowing about and that is a classic whistle-blower somebody that revea

can't let you go without asking your opinion on the way the leaks are being distributed now that greenwald has teamed up with pierre. i know this is a big source of controversy online. i think that this is a diagnosis you know if you walk into a doctor's office the doctor doesn't go you know what i'm going to give you two percent of your diagnosis and the rest of it over the next seven or eight months i just got a new job at a new company so you'll have to wait for the rest of it it should all be out by this point it's seven months after snowden first came forward we should know exactly what this government is doing with our taxpayer money and snowden and greenwald we have all due respect to them need to speed up this process david thank you so much david seaman really appreciate you coming on and you guys that is our show going tomorrow when i break the set all over again. i know. tanya related well tell me how you and my little grandson. i don't like how you like. being cut us. except it isn't the case. that the spiritual side is destructive. i try to convince her and try to preach that

david shuster, al jazeera. >> this afternoon my colleague tony harris spoke with glen greenwald. he said there was no need for government to indiscriminately collect huge amounts of information. >> the real question i think not enough people are asking is why should the u.s. government be keeping everybody's metadata? why does the records of everyone we l talk to and who we speak to and why we e-mail, why does that need to be preserved if we have done nothing wrong? there is no legitimate reason for it to be kept. people who have done something wrong should be monitored for surveillance in a health and well moderated system. >> underscore that nsa surveillance is a serious issue. joining us is joseph l hall, chief of a watchdog group in washington, d.c. joveest, welcome. what stood out to you in the president's speech today? >> most of the proposals were mod eggs if not less than modest reforms. some of the better things were in the secret court that makes decisions about surveillance, having a voice for the public, having a panel of public advocates that they could call on to he

these revelations first hit the press and the airwaves and that is an amazing point isn't it and greenwald and him saying this isn't about me and about the leaks that of course everyone kind of forgets about at ragbag usa snowden what in your opinion is the appropriate extent of u.s. national security apparatus surely some spying is needed snowden's response the n.s.a. and the rest of the u.s. intelligence community is exceptionally well positioned to meet our intelligence requirements through targeted surveillance the same way we've always done it without resorting to mass surveillance of entire populations my question for you david it is do you agree with snowden and how much surveillance is warranted. i would pretty much agree with there i don't think there's any problem with targeted . surveillance i understand that there are radicals and dangerous people out there that the u.s. government and other governments have an interest in keeping an eye on i think the issue is that this dragnet warrantless surveillance is clearly illegal i mean in the eyes of the wall it violates the fourth am

glen greenwald, secret surveillance, earlier greenwald appeared on al jazeera america s "the stream. identity. >> are they going to need more than just a pretty speech from president obama to make sure their concerns are addressed? afternoon advocate in the fisa court so no longer the government is the only side that shows up when it's determined whether or not a warrant should issue. but the history in the past 50 years and the history of president obama in particular is when there is such a controversy, the approach is to pretend changing things to placate public anger, rather than really change it. i think it's error to think of tomorrow as the end of the process. at the very most it's the beginning. of course there is not serious change proposed by president obama, no president wants to give up surveillance power. he has to be forced to do that. for private industry to feel the pressure and to demand, we should look at this as the first step not the last one. >> james banford, a writer about the nsa and its powers, failings as well. what would be your expectation about what the p

well i mean you know tying this back to glenn greenwald i just wanted to say that this you know he's been doing hard hitting reporting long before the snowden revelations and he sort of pointed out that. bruce ivans was basically convicted in the court of public opinion with no criminal charges ever brought to him based on a series of e-mails that he sent privately to his to his friends and colleagues about how he was depressed. because ultimately even the d.n.a. evidence that the f.b.i. says they have linking ivans to the attacks is invalid on the national academy of sciences basically went over all the evidence that the f.b.i. had and they concluded that the did the flask that the f.b.i. said ivan's had in his home could not be matched to the anthrax sent in the letters but then when you look at this through the the new light of the n.s.a. revelations that have happened over the past year steven hatfill pretty much dodged a bullet by basically being targeted as a scapegoat before this n.s.a. spying grid was so fully integrated bruce ivans did not have the same luck because obviousl

greenwald. and then i assume that there's also a third bucket of information that edward snowden still controls and is probably somewhere in the cloud. scott, one of my concerns is if he is accessing that cloud in any way in russia, russian intelligence is clearly watching him do that and they only need to see him do it once to be able to do it themselves. >> pelley: now, greenwald, of course, is the reporter who's been working with snowden. when you say that he has information in the cloud, this is a widely distributed file- sharing system where the information would be spread out over perhaps multiple servers anywhere around the world. after all of these months, would it be possible for someone to repeat what he did or are all of those security lapses now closed? >> reporter: there are places in the u.s. government where there is classified information, where there is no auditing capability and so this could happen someplace else and one of our recommendations in the review group was that the

. >> when greenwald, edward snowden turned 30 on friday.so then the charges against known.e made can you explain what he has been charged with by the united states? >> he has been charged so far with three felony counts, one of which is essentially stealing property that doesn't belong to him, the other two are the much more serious ones they are offenses under the espionage act of 19 17. >> journalist michael hastings has died at the age of 33. he was killed in a car crash in los angeles early tuesday morning. speaking to democracy now! in 2012, michael hastings said it was based on a false premise. >> wmd's for the big lie of the iraq war, the safe haven myth is the big lie of the afghan war. and what i mean by that -- and this was true in iraq as well. 99% of the people -- maybe even higher, honestly, the people were fighting weather was sunni insurgents or shia militias, the taliban never actually posed a threat to the united states homeland. >> in a major blow to voting rights, the supreme court has added an integral part of the landma
