Glenn Greenwald and Laura Poitras revealed the findings of the former government contractor Edward J. Snowden.

The question of who is a journalist is important, partly because when it comes to divulging national secrets, the law grants journalists special protections that are afforded to no one else.

Glenn Greenwald, a blogger who opposes government surveillance and has supported whistle-blowers, has published a top-secret order on the monitoring of phone logs.
