I've been thinking more about the poor CIA employees who have been caught up in this travesty, this breech of human decency, this ugly black scar on the soul of this nation..not to mention their own souls..


The winds are beginning to blow against them and the witch hunt is coming in spite of everything they're trying now to do to fend it off..  someone's going to be held responsible. If Reuters is dropping cliffhangers like this, it won't be long before the right and brave mass-media outlet really pulls the wool off.  Unless they shut down the entire internet, things are going south at exponential speed.


If I was one of them I would be trying to figure out a way to exonerate myself.  I'd really only have one avenue left: the truth...a thing possibly so familiar to them on the one hand but so distant on the other that it causes a mental breech so deep that all the tylenol PM in the world can keep them from tossing in their sleep.  "The truth shall set you free".  It's their one chance to save themselves and by extension, our nation..  The erstwhile protocol was to keep the truth from the masses "for their own good"..isn't that right?  But now that the internet has turned that tide and it is found that most people can now accept the truth as it is, a new protocol may apply: telling it.


Feeling afraid of losing one's job or of even worse fates for coming clean may have been an effective deterrant for outing those truly responsible for this mess.  I respect the agents and the work they do and understand that blackmailing may have kept them mute and at the service of their dank overlords.  It's my hope that people will see the same thing.  Now that the cat's out of the bag about these men (and women, eh Condelezza?), it's time to rethink, to restrategize.  To save the ship before it sinks with all onboard.  Just the captains.  That is the tradition.  Why sacrafice where sacrafice doesn't have to be anymore?
