The Utopia of Greed

Does anyone else think it is absurd when people complain about the leaking of classified information about secret (and oh yeah maybe not legal) White House approved operations? I mean their righteous indignation at the leakers and not the programs themselves baffles me.

In his most recent appearance before Congress CIA Director Porter Goss said, "The damage has been very severe to our capabilities to carry out our mission," adding that a federal grand jury should be impaneled to determine "who is leaking this information." The information he was referring to include details on the secret US prisons in eastern Europe. The damage here was caused by their ill-conceived program not the leaking of the information.

He is also failing to note the enormous white elephant crashing through the room. Maybe it was the US led, unprovoked, internationally-unwanted, and horribly planned war with Iraq. Hmmmmm.... Anything else just reinforces the world's view of the US that were formed on March 19th, 2003.
