I could not agree more and the government are even tying to claim thy
have "been more open about such matters" since the snowden revelations,
when all they have really done is regurgitated what is already out there
with a few little twists to make it appear that they have been more
forthcoming. the usual spin, trying to deflect people from questioning
their motives, trouble is so many people just read what "the government"
puts out nods wisely and think "oh , must be true then cus the gov'ment
says so", mustn't question government must we. ohhh that would never do,
we might be called dissidents or sommut.
I shall definitely peruse that case material more deeply though Doug.
