So a whistle-blower leaks information which cant be covered up, is anyone surprised at the standing down? Its standard textbook procedure to stand down, let matters blow over then popup in some other cushy number, James Clapper is just one of many, but hey lets have our jingle jangled by the media, its so 1984.
Polticos are just doing what they are expected to do, but there will be drinks all round at the weekend country club, that's for sure. Surprised this hit the news really because all country's are at it, but I would be interested in who the whistle-blower is and why they leaked. Was it a native leaker or Johnny Foreigner? That could be more telling, when considering bigger pictures.
The paradox is this: how do you protect the country if you cant spy and monitor everyone?
Its like an unwritten rule that isnt explained to everyone because some people cant handle the truth to quote Jack Nicholson from the film A few good men.
Biting the hand that feeds IT
