Unclaimed Territory
Blog | Independent
Unclaimed Territory is a political blog by Glenn Greenwald. For the past 10 years, Glenn was a litigator in NYC specializing in First Amendment challenges (including some of the highest-profile free speech cases over the past few years), civil rights cases, and corporate and security fraud matters. His new book, "How Would A Patriot Act", exposes some the gross abuses of power and excessive fear mongering of the Bush years, and how these actions debase our national character.
