We <br />need those whistleblowers, like the folks who came forward at the VA to <br />reveal the ongoing incompetence that was actually hurting people. Lurid<br /> accounts of clearly illegal Bush era programs that were cleaned up <br />under Obama, that just doesn't cut the mustard in establishing current <br />evidence of an NSA that is actually out of control. For stuff like <br />that, a decent citizen has to conclude that not all secrets need to be <br />exposed - which was the heart of Kinsley's critique, that we elected <br />Obama not Snowden to oversee our secrets, not that anybody stopped to <br />consider that while they were throwing fastballs at his head.<br /><br />And<br /> by the way, has anyone seen Citizen A lately? I'm guessing he slunk <br />back to the Daily Kos where his fellow hysterical ninnies will laud him <br />as the hero who bearded the very lion in his den. They love fairytales <br />like that, which is why they eat up Pernicious G's pabulum with so many <br />stainless steel sporks.Horace Boothroyd IIInoreply@blogger.com
