How can the the American voter trust the IC when the rubric for deciding what is secret, private, confidential or in the national interest is so far removed from them personally, removed even from their elected representatives? I think more transparency and open discussion of the actual rubric itself would go a long way to building trust.
- _3u10 3y agoEasy, look around the world and see if the things you want to have happen are happening. Are the right governments being overthrown? Or no.
- llostein 3y agoIt really depends on which side you are on. If you support Evangelical-backed business interests and are partial to Israel then you would have more trust in the intelligence community than someone who wants higher taxes or someone who has no religious preferences.
- unnamed76ri 3y agoI think you might be letting your own political biases guide your opinion here. I don’t know any evangelicals who trust IC.
