Christie, Clapper and other Officials who should be in Jail instead of Snowden
By Juan Cole | Feb. 1, 2014 |


(By Juan Cole)

The vindictiveness toward Edward Snowden in official Washington has nothing to do with law-breaking and everything to do with the privileges of power. The powerful in Washington may spy on us, but we are not to know about it. Snowden’s sin in their eyes was to level the playing field, to draw back the curtain and let the public see what the spies were doing to them The United States has become so corrupt that the basic principle of the law applying to all equally has long since became a quaint relic. We are back to a system of aristocratic privilege. If we had a rule of law and not of men, Edward Snowden would be given a medal and the following officials would be on the lam to avoid serious jail time. (snip)

Makes some good points in this article. Worth the short read.

Thank you, JEB! Excellent article.

As for its logical extension: NO ACCOUNTABILITY, including WHO PROFITS FROM ENDLESS WAR AND ILLEGAL SPYING?

5. Lots of people not only getting away with illegal stuff, but

making huge profit from it. I guess in present day America, profit is all that matters.
