re: #232 Ben Hur
Correct me if I’m wrong, but didn’t the British, IIRC, pull back on the amount of intelligence shared with the US because of all the intelligence leaks that Wapo and the NYTIMES published to get at Bush over the objections of EVERYBODY?
I don’t know. But this is complete and total purging for political reasons that Joe Stalin would be proud of. Instead, he’s embracing dictators and despots.
I think we can forget about any cooperation for former allies now.
