What are they trying so hard to hide?

All I know is I trust Ron Wyden who has been trying to warn us for years that if we 'knew what they were doing, we the people would be very angry'.

And I know in a country where War Criminals not only walk free, but are asked for their 'expert' advice on FP, this is probably a stupid question, but why is Clapper, Bush Loyalist, liar to Congress, still making rules for this country?

Why has he not been charged, or at least FIRED, for lying to the people who supposedly serves?

There WILL be more Snowdens, he just ensured that and like Snowden, they will seek political asylum elsewhere. This country has gone so far downhill so rapidly, it makes your head spin.
