Um, no. I believe I have said numerous times that I work for a PRIVATE contractor that does work for the federal government. My only current government ties are with the military; I am a United States Reserve Army officer with a background in military intelligence.
Well then, you can be glad it's not the National Security Council then; it's the DNI. They may give reports to Congress, but the DNI runs the IC, not them. And trust me when I say, you had better be darned glad I DO have a conscience, otherwise you'd have one less person in the military protecting your butt. And I sleep just fine at night. See, the thing you fail to realize, OldSchool, is that you know NOTHING about the IC; you're viewing it from a civilian perspective, which does not entail much knowledge about the inner workings of the IC. I, on the other hand, have actually been exposed to many of the inner workings, and I find your Hollywood-based perspective very amusing, but completely unworkable. Might want to quit getting your information from movies.
The Military isn't protecting the United States. Our national security is at an all time low because of an operation based completely on economics. At the College I attended there was a Government documents section of the library. Spent many many hours over two years reading a variety of documents. The documents speak for themselves.
And here's where I get offended. MY view of the CIA is wrong? I'm not the one looking at it from the perspective of the movies I've watched! I know numerous people who either have worked or currently work in the CIA, and they are all fine people whom I would be proud to work with. I'm not saying the CIA or any other intelligence agency is perfect; they've all made mistakes in the past (failing to file the FISA warrants for the wiretapping comes to mind), but viewing them as this evil cabal of terrorists merely epitomizes your sad delusions to the point of paranoia.
Your opinion of co-workers isn't important. If they were good people they wouldn't be part of such an institution to begin with. Have the paranoia issue backwards. Intelligence represents our governments paranoia. This administration is by far the most paranoid in History. Actually they spread paranoia among the civilian population which has no affect on me.
Ah, NOW we get to the crux of the issue. You're upset because you're left out of the secrets! You think there should be full disclosure of everything, am I right? You think we should reveal the details of everything that the IC does to the people.
I'v already spoken on this passage which you didn't read what I said.
Do you hate America THAT much? Or is this just you pouting because you aren't in on the secrets? I'm guessing the latter.
America is an Evil Empire. What America represented after the revolutionary war and the civil war makes me proud. What America represents today especially the last 8 years isn't something I'd want to claim to be part of in anyway.
Yes well, I could sit here and link to acts that helped maintain the freedoms of this country that were aided and abetted by the IC for hours as well; wonder which of us would be able to come up with more. And trust me when I say, what the government pays me doesn't hold a candle to what I'm currently paid in the private sector. As for the rest of it, quit acting paranoid; it's getting old.
I know for a fact you couldn't possibly begin to compare to the ammount of negative documents and articles available on intelligence.
And again, the paranoia? Not helping us believe you. You want agreement? Try posting some proof, little boy.
