"We need these people doing horrible things to keep us safe from those who might do horrible things to us, …”
No we don’t need people to do horrible things on our behalf. When we sink to the level of our enemies, we become our enemies. We need to find better ways to solve our problems after all not all of problems are nails.
You missed the part about this being satire didnt you. If you dont understand satire please what ever you do, dont read Jonathan Swifts A Modest Proposal.

Seems like the agent at the hearing should have been charged with contempt of congress, like that will ever happen. More and more the relationship between congress and the intelligence services they are suppose to control looks like the relationship between an abused spouse and their abuser.
After we've equipment all our police departments like invading forces to keep the Military Industrial Complex profitable, what's next. Giving mall cops RPGs?
