Guess what, if the people place their trust in you to protect and defend your rights, the best way to ensure that there will be no need for Whistle Blowers, a very necessary part of any democracy, to leak anything to the Press is to honor the trust that was placed in you.
If you fail to honor the trust of the people you should EXPECT to have your crimes exposed. And the actions of the perpetrators, Clapper eg, lying to Congress in an effort to cover up the crimes against the people they people they committed, clearly shows they betrayed that trust.
I shed no tears for people in whom such a sacred trust is placed who betray that trust.
Did you support Bush when he was caught instituting these 'policies' btw?
Are you familiar with the Oath of Office taken by the military and by elected officials to this government?
You haven't said whether or not you supported Bush when he was caught spying on the American people. I would be interested in where you stood when we first found out that he was the Telecoms to spy on their customers.
