mr. greenwald, i would be remission if i didn't switch subjects on you. work in the middle east. i want to ask you about the handling of syria by this president and where the congress seems to be going. your thoughts on what has unfolded? >> well, you know, it feels like a shakespearean tragedy form the president who many of us supported and worked for, to his credit, took the issue to congress, but we're seeing distortions, manipulation of the facts, and we're seeing an effort to scare the hell out of us, ed. we shouldn't allow the administration to do that, and we should be pressuring our elected officials who are hearing over and over again, this is not the solution to make the syrian people safer or to make us safe. >> vladimir putin says john kerry is lying, he knows it, and it's sad. what do you make of that? >> it's tragic if in fact he is lies and knows it. i think what we need to do, though, and again it's an extraordinary moment for democra democracy, for organizing, and for so many americans across the political stripe. and you've been amazing
