Assuming this board is a close approximation of the country at large, I think it is fair to say the NeoCon elites that are in charge of our surveillance/security state are very pleased to see the American people behaving in the herd-like sheep mentality they have spent decades training us to exhibit. They probably sleep better tonight knowing they have led us to concentrate on the leaker, not the leaks. God forbid we question the leaks! They hastily pushed out the talking points the the leaker is a right-wing racist who divulged information that was of no great import (despite much of it having a Top Secret designation), that is not for public (public: that’s you and me) consumption but everybody else already knew so it isn’t as damaging to national security as we might think although it is horrendously damaging to national security to the point the information needs to be withheld from even more people. We’ve done a good job of doing as we’re told to do: ask questions about the leaker, drmand the government instill even greater secrecy and never - NEVER! - look twice at the leaks. People like @davidallen must be pleased to know they contribute to the narrative with magnanimous loyalty to the state.
