Watch Glenn Greenwalds twitter (@ggreenwald) over the next few days/weeks. He alleges to have several more bombshell stories to release, and it looks like he's waiting for the government to lie themselves into a corner before dropping them in the limelight.


>looks like he's waiting for the government to lie themselves into a corner before dropping them in the limelight.

He's that good? Knows the `infinitude' of time? Chess gambit(@)?

I like him.

(@)The word "gambit" was originally applied to chess openings in 1561 by Spanish priest Rúy López de Segura, from an Italian expression dare il gambetto (to put a leg forward in order to trip someone).


>He's that good? Knows the `infinitude' of time? Chess gambit(@)?

Let's hope so!



Re Gambit: Learned this on an episode of Jeopardy screened in Australia this week. Never knew that it originated in Chess.


OT: Jeopardy screens in Australia?


Foxtel on Fox Classics. It's about 5 months behind (I think) and the Friday ep is always out of sequence for some reason.
