We walk a dangerous line when we start playing around with the idea that Greenwald, a journalist, is something other than a journalist. A journalist is allowed to have opinions and causes.
A journalist can engage in activism. There's nothing wrong with performing your work with passion, so why should it be any different for journalists? I get the creeps when I hear people suggest that Greenwald is just an activist and not a journalist. That usually means someone is being staged for oppression (ala Assange).
Members of the US government will suggest anything to get the scandal spotlight off of them and sweep this issue under the rug. To these criminals, the US Constitution has truly become a historical document. They pass secret rulings and laws to justify these constitutional violations in their minds.
