What Ennesay does is either illegal or secretly justified (take your pick), and they lie to the rest of government and the public about what they do.
At least NK is open and expliciedit: to the downvoters, trust this is not me saying we need to be like NK. It’s me pointing out a flaw of the US government
- irjustin 5y ago> At least NK is open and explicit. Disagreed, the secrecy is a symptom of desire to avoid public retaliation because they know it will affect those who sponsor such programs. This highlights there is need to continue to expose such systems via strong journalism + protections of freedom of speech (as written in the 1st amendment). Saying "at least NK is open and explicit" is because the government fears nothing with absolute control, and as the grandparent comment says - we cannot forget this key difference.
- hammock 5y agoIf you downvoted me you don’t realize we are on the same side. Did you think I wish the US as a whole was more like NK?
