Now, Fareed Zakaria is misguided? A National Magazine Award winner, a Peabody Award winner, a member of the Council on Foreign Relations, a member of the Trilateral Commission, and a Trustee at Yale, is misguided? Reza Aslan and Glenn Greenwald are liars and slanderers? Again, a well respected academic who has won multiple awards for excellence in his field of study, and an award winning journalist, who also just happens to be a lawyer, are liars and a slanderers? This discussion just keeps getting stranger and stranger.
If you believe that I have some beach front property in Nevada to sell you. Seriously, go back and look at his argument. It's been more free floating than the barrel on a Browning X-bolt. I don't buy it.

Reza Aslan is respected in his field of study?: He has a master of fine arts. In fiction. And a Sociology degree.
Greenwald? Greenwald was a fringe/wacko blogger writing for his own little blog, and then Salon, which would let me write for them if I asked. Then Snowden dropped a story on his lap for some mysterious reason.
But keep going. Defend Greenwald and Aslan, because that always works out well for people.
