This document appears to be a page (p. 60) from a book titled 'How America Lost Its Secrets' (likely by Edward Jay Epstein based on the filename and context), stamped as a House Oversight Committee document. It details the career and political activities of journalist Glenn Greenwald, including his move to Rio, his criticism of U.S. surveillance under Presidents Bush and Obama, and his support for WikiLeaks and Chelsea Manning via the Freedom of the Press Foundation. It highlights the connections between Greenwald, Edward Snowden, Julian Assange, and John Perry Barlow regarding the 'info war' surrounding government secrets.
