Bob Woodward questions Washington Post colleagues' handling of Snowden affair

Greenwald, 46, announced last month that he was  leaving the Guardian  after barely a year at the British paper to pursue a  "once-in-a-career dream journalistic opportunity that no journalist could possibly decline"  that has since been revealed to be a new media venture backed by eBay founder Pierre Omidyar. 

Greenwald's reporting on Snowden's NSA leaks, starting with a June 6 expose in the Guardian that was covered in the Post by colleague Laura Poitras, has been largely considered to be among the biggest journalism scoops of the decade. On his part, Woodward's reporting of the Watergate scandal in the early 1970s with colleague Carl Bernstein directly aided in the eventual resignation of former US President Richard Nixon.
