time considered to be the enemy of Democracy by the 'Left'. Bush/Cheney privatized our 'national security' to these thousands of Private Security Orgs ensuring billions in profits using FEAR as a selling point.

Clapper was a Bush appointee, kept in place by the administration we elected to RiD US OF THESE War Profiteers! H LIED to Congress but nothing happened, he SHOULD have been FIRED at least, instead he is now writing NEW RULES to silence WHISTLE BLOWERS!

What is going here? Weren't we told to elect Dems to STOP all of this?
