The Guardian likes to position itself as on the high moral ground: http://www.theguardian.com/world/2014/jul/13/edward-snowden-condemns-britain-emergency-surveillance-bill-nsa
However the Guardian itself is a surveillance organisation.
It has agents throughout the world.
It has an ideology it wants to see implemented.
It has enemies and informers and Sidney Greenstreet types who sit in back rooms pulling all the strings.
It indulges in covert operations, character assassinations, and liaisons with criminals - or perhaps we should say people who have committed crimes, or indeed to be absolutely politically correct we could call them people who do not have legal agreement for the actions they feel they have had to take.
Is the Guardian any better than the NSA?
