Secret CIA Gulags Leak
Now here's an interesting question to ponder. If the government is conducting illegal, immoral and unethical activities and covering them up by "classifying" them, then is it justified to prosecute someone for leaking the classified activities and therefore revealing official wrongdoing? What is more important: Keeping a secret used to break the law or revealing the secret so that justice may be served?
It doesn't surprise me that Republican Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist is making noises about finding out who blew the whistle on the secret detention facilities the CIA has scattered throughout former Soviet Bloc nations. While concerned and ethical Americans should be worried about what kind of questionable activities have been going on in these American-sponsored gulags, Republicans just want to know who revealed their dirty dealings—yet again.
The American people are at a crisis point and what is now at risk is the very soul of this nation. When we tacitly support our own government's violation of the human rights we've always expected other nations to observe, then we become crass hypocrites at the very least, and uncaring and unthinking monsters at the worst.
What outrages YOU more? That our own government is operating secret camps in former Soviet countries where they are doing who knows what to unknown prisoners? Or that someone brought that to light?
