The Senate has re-infected itself with a case of the CLAP, again bending to the pleas of James Clapper, the Director of National Intelligence, and President Obama's intelligence agencies, to keep secret the number of assassin drone strikes and the number of innocent civilians killed by those drones.

This massive infection of CLAP has affected many members of our government.
A medical professional told me that the cure for this strain of CLAP is a mega-injection of truth and transparency.
Any citizens around who can administer this low-cost, but highly effective, medicine?
