Things I liked, Monday

Glenn Greenwald and Naomi Klein discuss the Podesta leaks. If the powerful give up their right to privacy, who counts as powerful, and who gets to decide?

Harper's covers the US involvement in Yemen: "aiding and abetting the Saudi slaughter." The US does not want to lose the Saudis as an ally.
