Sunlight and transparency are great disinfectants for evil. Good only triumphs over evil if evil is exposed but evil wins if it’s allowed to remain in the shadows forever. Almost no one believes what they’re doing is evil — nearly everyone believes they’re a good person (even terrorists who have killed and taken hostages, as hostage negotiators recall in their books) but the road to hell is paved with good intentions. If the intel agencies can’t even convincingly share with congress reasons with enough merit that can stand up to scrutiny, then fuck em. Do what’s right instead. No one voted for any agency, intel or not, or any deep state to make all of the decisions of the democratic republic. America has 3 branches of government. No 4th branch for good reason. Transparency and sunlight are great disinfectants and there should be more of both. Transparency is needed to make the best decisions.
