Interesting Debate...showing Lockhart and Crowley in an "interesting Defensive Point of View" (imho) where they seem to agree more than disagree with each other in attacking whistleblowers. But, then it's up to the viewer to decide.

1. 'Freedoms Come at a Cost'...

Yup, the main cost is you have to give up fear.

2. Professional liars.

Since Bush uttered the word Freedoms, the very nature of freedom has been transformed. Once we call them freedoms (plural) they are seen as separate things that can be individually compromised. It isn't freedoms, it is freedom!

The guy on here actually was using the example of Snowden as evidence for freedom of the press. They are in such a bubble of their own creation that they haven't a clue how ridiculous they sound.
