Eric, you don't really have an answer for Joerg's comments, so you resort to pointing the finger somewhere else: Yes, we're bad, but why don't you talk about how bad the other fellows are? And then you throw in a little abuse to further distract your audience. Didn't work here.

That is such an incredibly naive and ill-informed statement, it almost sucks all the air out of the room.

I'll bet you are exceedingly learned in every revealed incident of CIA (etc.) misdeeds, but know nothing about the intelligence services of other countries and what they have done in the world.

To you, it's just a big innocent world brotherhood out there with a bunch of hegemonic US proto-Nazis preventing everyone from clasping hands and singing "The Ode to Joy."

Or maybe not. Maybe you do know better.
