Related: Editorials & Other Articles, Issue Forums, Alliance Forums, Region ForumsAmbassador Caroline Kennedy. WTF!
In not exactly a profile in courage, Ambassador Kennedy praises the new Japanese government secrets law. Maybe the translation was unclear. How can Caroline fucking Kennedy be endorsing anything so contrary to a free press and a transparent democracy?

She doesn't need the job.
The founding fathers risked their lives to give us a free press that is the only insurance for a transparent democracy. Generations have fought to keep it, including her dad.
She hands out the fucking Profiles in Courage Award, for pity's sake! Shame on her!
