the change...my guess would be.....that when Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro's administrationn charged him with conspiracy for critical reporting on the Brazilian government., he found himself personally in a very similar situation as Assange. His evolution from initial contact with "Cincinnatus," regarding Snowden was a long cautious climb. I am no expert into the mind of Greenwald but i'd speculate that he got there by some evolution of thought and personal experience of the lash and that sealed the deal.I think he is a very cautious individual.

I don't think he ever wanted to be where he is now, in regards to "Intercept" but he is. Few of us have the guts of Assange and Snowden...or John Pilger...or Christopher Hitchens but the last man "in" is "still :in".
