Pincus Corrected
You may have heard about the many major factual errors in a major Walter Pincus column at the Wash Post on Edward Snowden and Glenn Greenwald (and Laura Poitras and Bart Gellman). Pincus, of course, has done some very good reporting in the past, as well as bad. Now Greenwald has written to Pincus outlining the errors.

No changes in the Pincus column yet.
