What Farrell and Finnemore note, instead, is that the really powerful and devastating impact of these leaks is not directly on the intelligence community, but rather on the US's use of hypocrisy as a policy tool.


What we should note is the fact that the intelligence community has been stepping over the bounds for too long, but there was little anyone could do. It was the Mammoth in the outhouse. No one would use the outhouse because it was impossible to get around the mammoth, so they just end up shitting elsewhere. Nobody would admit it, and so to hide the fact everyone shit somewhere else and in private.

Now have all these little turds running around, shitting on everything else, and as a result we have no more credibility.  It's not the actions, it's the lies covering it up that were just bullshit, as in not even trying hard.

That is sad, because we used to have the reputation of at least being half way fair, now we even that lame excuse is gone now. I wouldn't be our friend, seems that if your a friend of the USA that just means you get shabbier treatment.  Where it all falls apart is that where we used to be in the group of Nations that lead the world, we are become the turd that nobody wants.

Sadly, very few folks to date have pinpointed the actual worst offenders which is not the U.S. Government, or I should say not the regular federal employees. No one looks to see who is on the bureau committees of congress and the financial institutions. Many times it is the same person, on several boards of companies and also tied directly to the government through various agencies.

If anyone made note, the Media started changing it's tune about the leaks, when they realized that they were included in the spying on, and it was revealed just a little bit ago, some of the spying was industrial espionage. That is when the other countries suddenly puckered up and got bent about the spying.

Molly say:
So keep fightin' for freedom and justice, beloveds, but don't you forget to have fun doin' it. Lord, let your laughter ring forth. Be outrageous, ridicule the fraidy-cats, rejoice in all the oddities that freedom can produce. And when you get through kickin' ass and celebratin' the sheer joy of a good fight, be sure to tell those who come after how much fun it was.
