    When courts & Congress fail, oversight comes from brave whistleblowers & a free press. This is a constitutional moment. Exciting, historic.

        @benwizner @ggreenwald I think you need to include Twitter in there, with people like Jeff Bezos buying the WaPo

        @benwizner An #NSA IT leaker was fantastic. A #CIA equivalent would be a history changer.

        @benwizner And tragic. Manning all but forced to apologize. Snowden in exile. Neither the public nor The MSM has come to their side. Sad.

        @benwizner @KatrinaNation My take on free press is what WaPo, Nation, NYT, and even New Republic at the time did during Watergate.

        @benwizner @ggreenwald It is exciting, but, chilling. Historic, but history provides examples of parallel events that went badly. Hold on!
