Glenn Greenwald is a colossal idiot who is willing to follow leads other people would write off as stupid because he is too dumb to know otherwise. Very rarely this had led to Glenn doing good journalism because the dumb lead he chose to follow actually bore fruit, but more generally it just leads him down ever deeper rabbit holes of being a loving moron. Greenwald gets a lot of praise in some circles because the times he was right about something tend to be times he went against a powerful interest no one else was willing to touch, and people mistakenly attribute Glenn's blind idiot successes to some kind of rigorous leftist ideology, or even if they are aware he's an idiot they adopt an 'enemy of my enemy' stance. Also Glenn is gay, which some people confuse for an ideology. In short, Greenwald is a confused crusader who will doggedly follow the dumbest of stories and sometimes produces good journalism almost entirely by accident, but more generally just produces endless piles of garbage and searing hot poo poo takes.

Hilariously, Assange is going to end up facing more punishment for revealing torture than the actual torturers will ever face, because the US is a nightmarish shithole of a country. Obama let the Bush torturers off scot free, but Assange will be hounded to the ends of the earth for the dreaded crime of revealing the torturers, who weren't even doing anything that bad according to America.
