The media has really become a hostage to the culture of fear, hasn't it?

I can't believe there is such paranoid behavior within the media to lead Americans by the nose down the path paved with gold.

Look, the leaking of national security secrets is not new. These TORRENTS, not leaks,  has been in existence now since the Bush/Cheney White House. They were the ones that built this demonic security machine. They were the ones that provided the ability for those with security clearance to be hired to the private equity industry and continue their clearance.

Cheney is a maniac. He wasn't about to leave the White House without being able to spy on every action of it under any future leader.

I find it more than interesting the USA Military had to stretch the truth about Bradley Manning's leak to include the fact Osama bin Laden looked at Wikileaks and demanded thumb drives by his messenger. That is a hideous and made for movies charge of Manning.

I am quite confident spying by the private sector for it's own use by former government officials has absolutely no consequences. There are NO criminal measures, not even misdemeanors, that anyone in the private sector suffers when they spy on the activities of our government. It is why the USA military needed to lie about the extent Manning compromised the nation. The fact bin Laden read Wikileaks on a thumb drive is nonsense. 

Manning and Snowden have done NOTHING compared to the level of spying by the private sector on the USA government EVERY DAY. They suffer no consequences. The ONLY problem here is that now the USA Public knows there is no such thing as National Security and it is scary for the USA military to admit that.
