Edward Snowden, my book with Scott Ritter, and the art of exploiting the messenger vs. the message

[sabrina 1]

117. And Clapper was CEO of Booz Allen, a multi-billion dollar 'Security Corp' now cast as Director of

Intelligence. His former, and future, no doubt bosses stand to lose billions of dollars if Americans decide they are not so easily scared by the word 'terror' that they will give up one single freedom, like the billion dollar collection and storing of their data.

In other words, he's a Corporate Shill profiting hugely from our 'Intelligence' policies in what might as well be a Hollywood Spy Movie, moving unnoticed from a huge, powerful, multi billion dollar Corp right into our government, and back again after he ensures the continuation of his real bosses lucrative 'business'.

That probably explains why he lied to Congress. A lot, lots and lots of money at stake here. Not so much, our security.

In that movie btw, as we watch the CEO pose as Director of Intelligence, secretly influencing Congress to pass laws giving up more of our freedoms, passing his info along to his Corporation, we long for an exposure.

Enter Snowden, former male model, turned Patriot after discovering the secrets that made possible the great War on Terror and its continued use to strike enough fear into the American people that no one will have to come and TAKE their freedoms, they will willingly hand them over. A tense scene in the end shows the former male model fleeing to China before he is silenced, labeled a traitor and locked up and tortured ala Bradley Manning.

Who would we cast in that movie? Di Caprio as Snowden maybe, and for the villain? Maybe Dick Cheney is looking for a job?
