The Spies Who Love Us

Does it sound like a compliment to you to be called a traitor by Dick Cheney? Do you wonder what espionage is?  Do Julian Assange, Bradley Manning, and Edward Snowden appear to be more or less trustworthy than the United States government? Do you trust the military to police itself? My personal theory is that leaking is the new journalism.  More high profile leaks will be celebrated with caviar and vodka faster than you can say Vlad’s your uncle.  Shortly a woman will join the ranks of leaky whistle blowers, and the balance will shift.  You do not need any psychic abilities to predict this. You simply need to wake up and smell the data.
