I received a note the other day from Bill Owen, who informed me that he is bringing well-known author and civil rights activist Glenn Greenwald to Ottawa on April 12 to speak at St. Paul's University.
To quote from the announcement,
Glenn is recognized as one of the most influential journalists in America. In December 2010, he broke the news that the U.S. military was holding alleged whistleblower Bradley Manning in long-term intensive solitary confinement, widely recognized to be a form of torture.
Greenwald is known for his uncompromising writing on civil rights, the growing security state, Wikileaks, torture, and American exceptionalism.
I envy those in the Ottawa area who will have this opportunity to hear the provocative and very knowledgeable Greenwald, who is also a writer for Salon.com.
