(62,325 posts)the American people have a right to to the Press. And here's a solution for those who have secrets they are desperate to keep, don't do wrong, don't betray the trust placed in you by the people, and you won't have to worry about your secrets being exposed.
Most of us manage to abide by the law every day. It's not hard, the rules are clearly laid out, we have some great guidelines that demonstrate how to protect this country without violating the rights of innocent people, or killing them or torturing them.
Clearly none of this has helped to protect us at all, as Diane Feinstein tells (in an odd attempt to defend it all) that we are in 'more danger than ever'. I would agree, but right here in the US where children are being murdered on a regular basis, where Americans are dying by the thousands from lack of Health Care etc.
But if she is right, it's way past time to drop these failed policies and start reviewing WHY this country is in MORE not LESS danger since all these policies went into overdrive over a decade ago.
