Their lives have become notably absolutely bizarre.
One lived for months naked in solitary confinement.
One lives in an embassy.
One lives in an airport.

You have to admit, their plights are compelling.
I cant wait to see the movies.
Clapper broke the law, at the very least, by lying to congress. He didn't get so much as a sternly worded letter. The people that lied us into eternal war, get a pass. The bankers who laid waste to our economy , get a pass. Some of these got cabinet positions.
The Obama administration kind of comes off looking like a dick.
Even the solidly centrist Democrat, Jimmy Carter says Democracy in this country is in great peril.
