It's not about the specific allegations, it's about the posture and priorities of the security state.
A few years ago, we ran out of fear and urgency on the Islamic terror thing and now we need a new top dog bad guy.
- elefanten 5y agoSo, in your view, is security simply not a problem? Is it all a giant lie to fund the security state? If not, where do you draw the line between real/legitimate security concerns vs. the fake ones?
- mcdonje 5y agoThat's clearly not their view. Blindly following liars into two wars has led to many avoidable casualties and has arguably made us less safe. The line between real & fake is the line between real & fake. We need to be on guard and insist on checking the intel before being led into another war.
