just wondering when all of this finally gets brought to light how everyone is going to look…..

Snowden and Greenwald, say that they have mindblowing evidence regarding the evil that our country does, but that they’ve carefully selected the information as to only harm national interests and not to punish those folks working in the shadows. So far, the folks that have “seen” what they have uncovered/stolen refuse to publish it, for the very reason that it apparently names names. Hell, even our resident narcissist GG hasn’t published anything. He’s sounding more like a coming attraction promo for a summer blockbuster more than anything else, you know, like a journalist. Kinda calls into question their motives and veracity and such, at least with folks that aren’t in lockstep with anything bad for the current administration is a win for them, regardless of what it is. Snowden’s statements make him sound like he is really a 29 year old HS drop out who thinks he has the world figured out and is hoping that this bluff still takes the pot.

The Private sector looks inept and bloated, much like what the government agency they were supposed to be efficiently replacing. Their vetting and security processes are going to be scrutinized and perhaps this will dial back that forever R meme of “private does it better”. Not sure they’re going to come out smelling like Fabreeze when the washing is done.

The current administration has taken some measured steps, but Clapper has been abysmal when speaking to Congress and the press. Here’s to hoping that they can find a more eloquent spin doctor to represent them in the future. Was happy to see Obama get as much of the process as declassified as possible so we could see the transparency/process and maybe even have the discussion. Perhaps with Wyden in charge at the Senate level, that discussion will happen.
