Glenn Greenwalds new book, No Place to Hide: Edward Snowden, the NSA, and the U.S. Surveillance State, is many things: an account of his relationship with Snowden, an indictment of political leaders who have used the pretext of "terrorism" to mask their unlimited power-lust, a technical analysis (complete with illustrations culled from the National Security Agencys own secret archives) of Americas emerging police state. Most significant and enjoyable for me, however, it is a searing indictment of what "mainstream" journalists have become – servitors of a corrupt political class blinded by their own arrogance.
