(62,325 posts)American people. Journalists and Whistle Blowers who reveal those crimes are doing their duty.
Naturally the perps who are being exposed are not going to like those who expose them.
So rather than prove their own innocence, which clearly cannot be done, they engage in what is know as attempts to 'cover up' their crimes.
We have learned over the past number of years that those committing crimes against the American people hire Security Contractors, such as HB Gary eg, to bid on contracts to SMEAR JOURNALISTS who report on their crimes and corruption.
Greenwald, as we know, was a target of one of those Smear Campaign Contract Bids.
Exposed and embarrassed by the exposure of something that should disgust every American HB Gary slunk away since there was simply no way to defend their vile practices.
However it is clear that someone got the Smear Campaign Contract. The 'material' is now familiar.
The CATO talking point was one of the easiest to debunk which was done effectively long ago.
But I suppose when there is no defense for what Greenwald has exposed as a journalist, falling back on the Cato Talking point is about the best someone can do. And that is why I love it when I see it, but it means there is simply no way to address the exposed crimes so 'point over there'. Only problem is we did, and it made matters even worse for the perps because it exposed even more deception and lies.
I do love to see it. It is a sign that the people are winning this battle for their rights. How could anyone not love it is the question?
