    Introduction and Chapter 1 Summary/Contact

    In the introduction and first chapter of No Place to Hide, author Glenn Greenwald provides some professional background before beginning to tell the cloak-and-dagger story of his meeting with whistleblower Eric Snowden in Hong Kong last year.

    The background begins in the fall of 2005, when Greenwald started his political blog as a response to a New York Times report following 9/11 that the NSA was eavesdropping without warrants on relevant criminal activity.

    Given his legal background and journalistic credentials, Greenwald saw himself as a solid candidate to address the issues of constitutional law and the statutory interpretation of that law that came into play following the decision to allow that eavesdropping. He was also the author of a bestselling 2006 title about the same subject.

    Both Snowden and Greenwald also believed that the general warrants issued by the NSA were inherently illegitimate, especially since they identified a half million US citizens as subversives. Indeed, the NSA's surveillance program eventually became so powerful that dictatorships around the globe now shop for surveillance tools from the US government. 

    They also believed that the role the Internet plays in daily life today was a huge part of the issue, with the NSA defining its role as an effort to turn that network into a system of mass surveillance.

    In the opening of Chapter 1, Contact, Greenwald supplies the initial details of his meeting with Snowden. It began unknowingly, when the author received emails from someone who called himself Cincinnatus, which was the name of a Roman farmer who was appointed dictator to
