That's a charming degree of trust you have in our intelligence services to be acting in your interests.
Their track record doesn't support it very well though, unless your interests happen to align with the economic elite and social conservatives.
- Veen 8y agoI'm just a firm believer that falling short of perfection is not a reason for total condemnation. In general, over time, the intelligence services do act in the interests of the country. In specific cases, they may not, and in those cases, the organizations and individuals concerned should be properly punished. And yes, I'm in favor of organizations that defend the nation's institutions, because without them we'd be fucked.
