"He thought about exposing government secrets at the time, but didn't
because CIA secrets are mostly about people and he didn't want to
endanger anyone. He also thought the election of Barack Obama in 2008
would change things."

That is fucking funny. Who are the trained monkeys tapping this shit
out on their computers?

There should be a special word in the English language to identify
people who create problems and then turn around and offer up their own
tailor-made bogus non-solutions designed to completely avoid the root
causes of the situation under consideration. 'Traitor' might be a
good choice, but lacks the requisite specificity. One of the problems
with contemporary English is it lacks many such words that would
otherwise categorically identify certain kinds of person, place, or
thing -- making it difficult or impossible to think analytically about
such objects. These shortcomings of the English lexicon are
representative of Orwellian linguistics at work in the real world.
